Auto Select Interface
The printer can receive data transmitted either a parallel interface or a USB interface as 
standard. In addition, the printer can receive data transmitted either serial interface or Eth-
ernet interface as option.
When two different data is sent from different PCs, one by a parallel interface and the oth-
er by a USB interface in standard, or one by a parallel interface and the other by a optional 
serial interface, the data reached the printer is received first and processed first and the 
Busy signal is sent to other interfaces (Second).
Parallel interface and Ready/Busy in Serial interface. In case of XON/XOFF in Serial in-
terface, Printer sends XOFF to Host, if Host send data to Printer:
The printer has received all data and the receive buffer is cleared, the Busy status is cleared 
and the printer starts to receive the data from the other interface when the state where 
data are not received continues 1 seconds or more.
