Description
The printer automatically changes its communication mode to that of the host
computer. Ordinarily, you should leave this setting unchanged.
The printer uses the standard communication method recommended for
Centronics interfaces.
This mode enables faster data transmission between the machine and the host
computer. (Select this mode if printing problems occur when the machine is
connected to a workstation.)
High speed data communication is used in compliance with the IEEE 1284
standard.
