Sharing Your Printer You can connect your printer to more than one computer at the same time. Simply connect interface cables from the computers to the interfaces on your printer. Your printer comes with a built-in parallel interface (Centronics® compatible) and a slot for an optional interface. The ActionLaser 1500 also has a built-in serial (RS-232C) interface. If you want to install an optional interface, see Chapter 5, "Options," for instructions. Note: If you use the ActionLaser 1500's built-in serial interface, you will need to configure it to match your computer. See the INTERFACE option in Chapter 4, "SelecType" for information on settings. AUTOSENSE setting By default, your printer uses AUTOSENSE, a SelecType setting that automatically detects which interface channel (parallel, serial, or optional) is receiving data from the computer and allocates all of the printer's available memory to that channel. In the unlikely event that you have problems with files from different computers interfering with each other, you may wish to try the INDIVIDUAL setting which allocates a separate area of memory for each channel. For information on how to use the INDIVIDUAL setting, see the USER option in Chapter 4, "SelecType." By pressing A when you are sharing the printer with two or three interface channels, you can manually switch between channels P, S, or O as applicable to your printer. 1-22 Controlling Your Printer
