Changing Parallel Interface Mode (EP C270N only)
ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
The printer is equipped with both parallel (EP C270N) and USB interfaces.
Optional serial interface board kit and network interface card can also be
installed. Various printing environment parameters such as the default
emulation can be changed independently on different interfaces by using
the printer's menu selection system. Select the interface to apply the
changes in the procedure described below.
NOTE:
This interface selection described below does not select the
interface from which data will be received. The printer automatically
selects the interface
