Epson 1000 Reference Guide

You can connect your printer to more than one computer at the

same time. Simply connect interface cables from the computers

to the interfaces on your printer.

Your printer comes with a built-in parallel interface

(Centronics

®

 compatible) and a slot for an optional interface.

The ActionLaser 1500 also has a built-in serial (RS-232C)

interface. If you want to install an optional interface, see

Chapter 5, “Options,” for instructions.

By default, your printer uses AUTOSENSE, a SelecType setting

that automatically detects which interface channel (parallel,

serial, or optional) is receiving data from the computer and

allocates all of the printer’s available memory to that channel.

In the unlikely event that you have problems with files from

different computers interfering with each other, you may wish

to try the INDIVIDUAL setting which allocates a separate area

of memory for each channel. For information on how to use the

INDIVIDUAL setting, see the USER option in Chapter 4,

“SelecType.”

By pressing   when you are sharing the printer with two or

three interface channels, you can manually switch between

channels P, S, or O as applicable to your printer.
