Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual

Table B (shown earlier) has the DIP-switch settings for auto

interface selection, parallel interfaces, and for serial interfaces

with odd or no parity. When the auto interface selection is

selected, the printer determines which interface receives data

and then switches to that interface until the end of the print

job. (A print job ends when no data is received from the

selected interface for the amount of time specified by the auto

interface wait time setting.) If you don’t know what type of

interface your computer requires, check your computer

manual. Also check your computer manual to make sure your

computer and printer have the same parity setting.

Besides selecting the interface and parity, if your computer is

set up for serial communications you may also need to change

the serial bit (also known as baud) rate setting. The serial bit

rate is the rate at which the printer receives data from the

computer.

Table C (shown earlier) has the DIP-switch settings for the

printer’s four bit rate settings. Check your computer manual or

application program for the correct serial bit rate setting. Your

computer and printer should always be set to the same bit rate.

To set page lengths other than those listed in Table D (shown

earlier), see the printer commands in Appendix B. Be sure to

set the page length to match the paper you plan to use.
