Sharing the Printer You can connect your printer to as many as three different computers at the same time using any combination of the parallel, serial, and optional interfaces. Simply connect interface cables from the computers to the interfaces. If you use the default printer mode LJ-3 for all the interfaces, that's all you need to do unless you need to change serial interface settings. If you wish, however, you can choose different printer modes for each interface, and you can allocate a separate part of the printer's memory for each interface. Your printer receives data from the computers through the following channels: Channel P is the parallel interface. Channel S is the serial interface. Channel O is the optional interface. See Chapter 7 for information on the optional interfaces. If you are sharing your printer, see the section on the CH setting on Page 3-32 for full information on the possible settings.
