If your printer is connected to only one computer, select Parallel
or Optional for the interface mode, depending on the interface
you use. If your printer is connected to more than one computer,
select Auto (automatic) to cause the printer to automatically
switch between interfaces depending on which one is receiving
data.
Auto I/F (interface) wait time
This setting takes effect only if an optional interface is installed
and the auto interface mode is selected. This setting determines
how long the printer waits when it no longer receives data from
an interface before it checks whether a print job is being sent
through the other interface. You can specify 10 seconds or
30 seconds for the auto interface wait time.
Software
If you select ESC/P 2, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P
2 mode. If you select IBM 2391 Plus, the printer emulates an IBM
printer.
Character table
You can select among 13 standard character tables as well as
tables for 22 other countries. See Appendix C for character
samples.
International character set for Italic table
You can select among several international character sets for the
Italic character table. Each character set contains eight characters
that vary depending on the country or language, so you can
customize the Italic table to suit your printing needs. See
Appendix C for character samples.
0 slash
When you turn on this setting, the zero character contains a slash
( ); otherwise it has no slash (0). The slash allows you to easily
distinguish between the uppercase letter “O” and a zero.
