LQ-590II/LQ-590IIN/LQ-2090II/LQ-2090IIN User's Guide I/F (interface) mode The printer provides built-in slots for four interfaces; Parallel, Serial, USB, and Network. You can choose Auto (automatic), Parallel, USB, Serial or Network for the interface mode. When you select Auto, the printer automatically selects the interface that is receiving data, and uses that interface until the end of the print job. The Auto setting allows you to share the printer among multiple computers without changing the interface mode. If only one computer is connected to the printer, you can select Parallel, Serial, USB, and Network, depending on which interface your computer uses. Note: Serial and Network are available only on Network compatible models. Auto I/F (interface) wait time This setting is effective only when I/F mode is set to Auto. This setting specifies how long the printer waits when no longer the printer receives data. You can specify 10 seconds or 30 seconds for the auto interface wait time. Parallel I/F (interface) bidirectional mode The Parallel Interface bidirectional transfer mode is used when this feature is on. If bidirectional transfer mode is unnecessary, turn this off. Note: To use EPSON Status Monitor 3 or the Printer Setting utility, always turn this feature on. Packet mode Make sure to select Auto to print from Windows applications using the printer driver included in the software disc that comes with the printer. Turn off this mode if you encounter connection problems when you are printing from applications based on other operating systems such as DOS. Note: Make sure that the printer and the printer driver settings are the same, otherwise, you cannot print or printing may be corrupted. Character table You can select among various character table.
