Serial Interface Settings If you are using an optional serial interface, you may need to change the communications protocol of the printer or the computer for them to communicate properly. The protocol used by the printer is decided by one or two groups of DIP switches located on the serial interface board; the protocol used by the computer can probably be altered by a software command. It is essential that the printer and computer use compatible protocols. Choosing and Setting Up Optional Interfaces E.7

to communicate properly. The protocol used by the printer is decided
by one or two groups of DIP switches located on the serial interface
board; the protocol used by the computer can probably be altered by a
