User guide Interfaces127InterfacesYour printer offers the possibility of operating either via a parallel, aserial or a USB interface. There is also a printer model with a secondserial interface. This chapter informs you about the interfaces anddescribes the communication between your computer and the printer.Interface settings forUser 1 and User 2Your printer allows you to set and use two independent menuconfigurations for the selection of the interfaces (User 1/User 2).It is possible, to select different intefaces for User 1 and User 2(e.g. User 1: serial interface and User 2: parallel interface).It is also possible to select the same interface for User 1 and User 2. Ifso, any changes of the interface settings in menu mode (see Menu, inter-faces, page 60) for User 1 will be transferred to User 2. In contrastthereto changes of the interface settings for User 2 will not be trans-ferred to User 1.If the parameter “Share User” in Setup mode is set to “Auto” (seeShare User, page 57), the printer will handle print jobs for User 1 andUser 2 automatically. (E.g. if a print job for User 2 interface is receivedthe printer switches to User 2 and starts printing after a paper has beeninserted.) If it is set to “Manual” after receiving a print job for User 1or User 2 the respective USER 1 or USER 2 key must be pressed tostart the printout.D
