Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
Connecting a serial interface cable
The EPL-7500 has two serial channels, one wired to a 25-pin
(RS-232)
connector, and the other to an S-pin

either of which can be used for conventional asynchronous serial
communication.
If you want to use one of the printer’s serial interfaces, make sure
that you have a properly shielded cable and that it is the correct
one for your computer and the EPL-7500. Be sure to change the
SelecType Level 2 INTERFACE setting to the serial mode you want
to use before you connect the interface. Save the new setting with
the SAVE LEVEL 2 option. See Chapter 3 for instructions on
changing SelecType settings.
