Using the Serial Interface
If you use a serial interface, you need to confirm that the printer and the
computer are using the same serial settings. If the serial settings do not
match, you must change the appropriate settings. The settings can be
changed either at the printer or computer.
The default serial settings for the serial interface are listed below. To
change the serial settings, use the Remote Control Panel utility. For
information about your computer’s serial settings, see your computer
manual.
Serial type: RS-232C
Word length: 8
