Overview

This chapter describes the host interfaces provided with the printer. The
printer interface is the point where the data line from the host computer
plugs into the printer. The interface processes all communications
signals and data to and from the host computer. Plus, with the Auto
Switching feature, you can configure the printer to accept several
interfaces at the same time (see "Auto Switching Submenu" on
page 237).
