The factory default settings for each interface should work well for most
installations. However, the following paragraphs provide some basic
information about each interface and also refer to the page number in the
Configuration chapter where all the details for each interface are described. If
you need to make changes to the default settings, please refer to
“Introduction to Setup” on page 39 for instructions on how to access the
printer’s Setup menus.
Once you are comfortable that the interface settings match those required by
your computer, proceed to the next section, “Installing the Ribbon
Cartridge” on page 8.
