3–34 Configuring the Printer
Stop bits signal the end of a transferred serial data word.
Parity
Values: None (default), Odd, Even, Mark, and Sense
This parameter must be set to match your host computer.
The host may send a parity bit with every data word. The parity bit is used for
error checking.
Data Term Ready
Values: Online & BNF, True (default), False, Offline or BF, or Online
This parameter must be set to match your host computer.
The DTR Function parameter is part of hardware flow control. This parameter
determines when the printer generates the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal to
the host computer. DTR is a status signal that the printer sends to the host to
indicate whether or not the printer is ready to receive data.
• The True parameter setting causes the printer to continuously assert the
DTR signal.
• The False setting causes the printer to never assert the DTR signal.
• The Online & BNF (buffer not full) setting causes the printer to assert the
DTR signal only when the printer is online and its internal serial buffer is
not full.
• The Offline or BF (buffer full) asserts the DTR signal when the printer is
off-line or the internal serial buffer is full.
• The Online setting causes the printer to assert the DTR signal whenever
the printer is online.
Request To Send
Values: Online & BNF (default), True, False, Offline or BF, or Online
This parameter must be set to match your host computer.
The Request To Send parameter is part of hardware flow control. This parameter
determines when the printer generates the Request To Send (RTS) signal to the
host computer. RTS is a status signal that the printer sends to the host to indicate
whether or not the printer is ready to receive data.
