Serial port setup
If you are using the serial port, you must set up your computer's serial port
parameters to match the way you set the printer's serial port parameters.
Under DOS, use the MODE command to set up your computer's
serial port:
■ If you set up the printer's serial port for variable baud rate and
you are using the default serial parameters for this position, type
this command at the DOS prompt (if COM1 is not available, use
COM2):
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P
If you changed the printer's serial port parameters from the
default values, you must enter different values for the MODE
command (see your DOS documentation for details on the MODE
command).
■ If you set up the printer's serial port for a fixed baud rate of 1200,
type this command at the DOS prompt (if COM1 is not available,
use COM2):
MODE COM1:1200,N,8,1,P
For a complete listing of the printer's default serial port parameters, see
“Serial port” on page A-3.
You may want to add the MODE command to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, so
that it takes effect every time you turn on your computer.
