Automatic Interface Selection - Brother HL-2400Ce Series User Manual

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, NC-3100h 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 button. For
more information, see
interface selection mode has been factory set to ON, simply connect the
interface cable to the printer. (Note: Always turn off both your computer
and printer when connecting or disconnecting the cable).
When using the serial interface, you must have the same communication
settings on both the printer and computer. Since the automatic interface
selection mode has been factory set for standard computer serial link,
you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the printer if
your computer already has the settings detailed below:
