Configuring the Printer3–50
Host Interface Menu Options
Figure 3–10 shows the Host Interface Menu. From this menu, you can select
one of three types of interface between the printer and your host computer:
• Centronics: Selects a Centronics parallel interface.
• Dataproducts: Selects a Dataproducts parallel interface.
• Serial RS-232: Selects an EIA-232 (EIA RS-232) serial interface.
Each of the three types of interfaces has its own set of parameters. These
parameters control the interface between the printer and your host computer.
IMPORTANT
The printer will not work on-line unless the type of interface selected
from the Host Interface Menu matches the type of interface in your host
computer. (The interface in your host computer is the one that connects
to the printer data cable.)
For example, if the interface on your computer is Dataproducts, then
Dataproducts must be selected from the Host Interface Menu in the
printer.
