The printer outputs a start–up page and a page identifying
the emulation settings.  These settings remain during
power-off. 

The interface card reads the address switch and stores the
corresponding printer emulation setting in permanent memory
on the interface card.  This setting remains in permanent memory
until you change it.

Note:  After you set the emulation, you must set the printer
address or the interface card will not accept data from the twinax
port.

Turn off the printer.

Reconnect the twinax T–cable.

Set the address switch to the address you want to assign to

switch that is already assigned to another device.
