inal Program on a PC on page 2-47.
3. Prepare the 8400 for a network connection:
In software versions earlier
than version 2.1, you could select
Direct, Modem,
or
Network connections. However, even in this older software, the network
connection was always active even in the connection type was set to
Direct or
Modem. Therefore, in version 2.1, we removed Network as a connection type.
This doesn’t change any functionality; the network connection is still always
active.
