Setting Communication Parameters
Use the following information for serial communications. See
"Using Parallel Communications" for information about parallel
communications.
The communication parameters at the printer must match those at
the host, or you will not be able to communicate.
You can use the communication settings packet to set
communication parameters for your printer.
On MS-DOS computers, you can use the MODE command to set
communication values on your PC.
For example
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1
This command sets your host to these communication values:
◆
a baud rate of 9600
◆
no parity
◆
8 bit word length
◆
1 stop bit
Using Parallel Communications
If your printer supports parallel communications, the parallel port
is Centronics®-compatible. The communication settings are
automatically configured for you. There are no operator settings
required.
