2. Select the RS-422A(Apple) or RS-232C(IBM) interface by changing

Caution
Be sure to set the parameters to match your computer as follows:
Never change the RS-422A parameters for Apple Macintosh
computers. Because the RS-422A parameters have been correctly set at
the factory for Apple Macintosh computers, you do not need to change
the settings. You may skip this section. If you change parameters for the
RS-232C serial interface and you switch back to RS-422A for Apple
Macintosh computers, be sure to restore the parameters to the factory
settings.
Set the RS-232C parameters to match your computer. You can set serial
settings in several different places, within your DOS application, within
the Windows Printer Icon (for Windows application software only), or
within your AUTOEXEC.BAT file using MODE commands. For
information on serial interface parameters, see the user's guide of your
computer or software.
