Use the Administration/Communications/Serial menu to set the serial
interface communication values used for printer-host communica-
tions. The following options are available.
Sets the rate data is received (bits per second) from the host over the
serial interface.
Sets the number of data bits transmitted per character.
Menu Administration/Communications/Serial/Baud Rate
Choices 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400
Default 9600
Notes Set this option to match the baud rate used by the host. Baud
rates of 19200 and 38400 require RTS/CTS hardware flow
control (Administration/Communications/Serial/Hdwe Flow Ctl
menu). These rates do not support XON/XOFF software flow
control (Administration/Communications/Serial /Rcv Sw Flow
Ctl menu).
When selecting a baud rate of 2400 or below, increase the
Administration/Communications/Timeouts/Emul Timeout
value as follows:
Baud Rate Emulation Timeout (seconds)
2400 10*
1200 20
600 40
300 80
*A baud rate of 2400 works with a 5-second emulation timeout
value, but there is no margin for delays between characters.
Menu Administration/Communications/Serial/Data Bits
Choices 7 Bits, 8 Bits
Default 8 Bits
