The printer can also be connected to the host with a parallel
connection. In addition, the printer has a unique feature where if you
connect both the serial and parallel cables to the printer at the same
time, the printer will automatically interface to the first connection,
(serial or parallel) that transmits valid data. After a connection has
been made, the printer must be turned off and then back on again to
change the interface connection.
