If your printer is connected to only one computer, select 
Parallel
 
or 
Optional 
for the interface mode, depending on the interface 
you use. If your printer is connected to more than one computer, 
select Auto (automatic) to cause the printer to automatically 
switch between interfaces depending on which one is receiving 
data.
Auto I/F (interface) wait time
This setting takes effect only if an optional interface is installed 
and the auto interface mode is selected. This setting determines 
how long the printer waits when it no longer receives data from 
an interface before it checks whether a print job is being sent 
through the other interface. You can specify 
10 seconds
 or 
30 seconds
 for the auto interface wait time.
Software
If you select 
ESC/P 2,
 the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P 
2 mode. If you select 
IBM 2391 Plus
, the printer emulates an IBM 
printer.
Character table
You can select among 13 standard character tables as well as 
tables for 22 other countries. See Appendix C for character 
samples.
International character set for Italic table
You can select among several international character sets for the 
Italic character table. Each character set contains eight characters 
that vary depending on the country or language, so you can 
customize the Italic table to suit your printing needs. See 
Appendix C for character samples.
0 slash
When you turn on this setting, the zero character contains a slash 
( ); otherwise it has no slash (0). The slash allows you to easily 
distinguish between the uppercase letter “O” and a zero.
