CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO THE COMPUTER
The Star LaserPrinter 8111 comes equipped with both a standard parallel
interface and an RS-232 serial interface. Both can be connected simulta-

The printer comes from the factory pre-set with the IBM parallel interface
active. You can confirm this by looking at the Interface Group portion of
the sample print.
