• Off is the factory default setting.
• The serial port uses DSR to distinguish data sent by the computer from data
created by electrical noise in the serial cable. The electrical noise can cause
stray characters to print. Select On to prevent stray characters from
printing.
• This menu item appears only if Serial RS-232/RS-422 is set to RS 232.
