Automatic Interface Selection This printer has an Automatic interface selection function. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the interface that is appropriate. When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bidirectional parallel communications on or off in the parallel menu using the control panel in INTERFACE mode. For more information, see Chapter 3. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer. When you use the serial interface, you need to have the same communications settings on both the printer and the computer. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set with certain settings, you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the printer if your computer has the settings listed below. Communications parameters Baud rate (data transfer speed) Code type (data length) Parity (data error check) Stop bit (data separator) Xon/Xoff (handshake protocol) DTR (ER) Robust Xon Factory settings 9600 8 bits None 1 stop bit ON ON OFF If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, use the control panel to select NETWORK. When necessary, use the control panel in the INTERFACE mode to select the interface or the serial communications parameters manually. For more information, see Chapter 3. For the computer settings, see the manual for the computer or software you are using. 2-22
