AUTOMATIC INTERFACE SELECTION
This printer has an automatic interface selection function. When the printer
receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the bi-directional
parallel, RS-232C serial interface, or MIO interface as appropriate.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-
directional parallel communications on or off with the MODE switch. For
further information, see
interface selection mode has been factory set to ON, simply connect the
interface cable to the printer.
When you use the serial interface, you need to have the same
communications settings on both the printer and computer. Since the
automatic interface selection mode has been factory set with certain
settings, you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the
printer if your computer has the settings listed below.

If a commercial interface card has been installed in the MIO card slot, it can
