The printer can choose from the following combinations: Automatic interface selection This printer has an automatic interface selection feature. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the IEEE 1284 Parallel or the USB interface whichever is appropriate. When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-directional parallel communications on or off by using the control panel buttons to access PARALLEL in the INTERFACE menu. See INTERFACE on page 3-21. Since the default factory setting is ON for the automatic interface selection mode, simply connect the interface cable to the printer. (Note: Always turn off both your computer and printer when connecting or disconnecting the cable). If you typically use only one interface, we recommend that you select that interface in the INTERFACE menu. If only one interface is selected, the printer will allocate the entire input buffer to that interface.
