2. Summary of Option Interface
The printerinitially has USBtype-B interface as theprimary interface.
It additionally allows an operator to install either RS232C interface card or Ethernet interface card as an option.
In order to make the option interface card available, the USB interface cable hasto be disconnected.
It is because the option interface card isnot activated ifUSB connection is established with a system. If USB
interface is disconnected in this condition, the printer is automatically reset and the option interface card
becomes available. In addition to this, ifUSB type-B is connected while the option interface is communicating
with a system,the printeris reset and itscontrol ischanged to USB.
