The parameters set for the parallel interface match most of the most common environments and
the printer can be used immediately after the connection to the host.
In case you need to modify the standard parameters see “
” later in this section.

Because of the great variety of the possible connection configurations, when you use the serial
interface you will need to set the parameters accordingly.
To assure a correct functioning of the printer connected through the serial interface, the
transmission parameters set for the printer must match the values set for the host. Check the
interface settings on the host and proceed as follows:
1. Press the
LQ
key while powering the printer on and keep it pressed until all leds turn briefly on.
The printer enters the Setup mode.
2. Insert a blank sheet in A4 or Letter format. The printer loads the sheet and stops. The
P1
and
P2
leds are lit.
3. Press the
PROGRAM
key once. The
P1
and
P2
leds are unlit.
4. Press the
LQ
key. The printer prints the first configuration sheet.
5. To change the values of the serial interface parameters, fill in the marker ( ) beside the value
you want to set with a black or blue ball-point pen or a fiber-pen.
Do not use pencils.
