You can specify either 10 seconds or 30 seconds. Set this option to Parallel only if you want the printer to ignore data from the serial interface or to Serial only if you want the printer to ignore data from the parallel interface. Bit rate, parity bit, data length, and ETX/ACK These options are available only when the interface is set to Serial. See your computer manual for the appropriate settings. State reply For normal operation, leave this option set to Off (default). Changing the printer settings If you cannot use your software program to change the printer's settings, you can use the Printer Setting mode.
