Chapter 3. Printer Communications
System Administrators Only. Before the printer can receive
a print job from the host, you must:
1. Set the communications parameters.
2. Attach the communications cable.
3. Turn the printer on.
Setting Communications Parameters ––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Before sending a print job from the host, set the
communications parameters (flow control, baud rate, data bits,
and stop bits) in the printer to match the parameters set at the
host. You can set the printer’s communications parameters
manually or by using online commands.
To see the printer’s current communications parameters, print
a test label. See Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting," to learn how to
print a test label. The printer’s default parameters are
9600,N,8,1.
n✦ If the flow control parameter for the host and printer do not
match, the LED indicator blinks 1/4 second amber, and the
printer will not print. Press [Feed] to reset the printer.
✦ Follow these instructions exactly. Do Not omit any
parameters.
To set the communications parameters manually:
1. Turn the printer off and remove the battery.
2. Press [Feed] while re-connecting the battery. Continue to
press [Feed] until the LED indicator changes from amber
to green. Release the button.
