This may vary from older U220s to newer ones, so results may vary.

Turn the printer over and remove the screw holding the protection plate over the dip switchs

Locate the 2nd bank of dip switches

Set switch 2-4 to ON

You can then self-test the printer to see if the Serial interface has been changed. If the interface still says "Serial", set 2-4 to OFF and set 2-8 to ON. ...
