If you entered the printer password in the Session Setup, you can change the
following parameters of the non-networked host communication ports and the
Host Port Timeout.
1. Host Port Timeout - This timeout value applies to the Controller’s
centronics (parallel), and serial ports. If there is a pause in the incoming
data stream over one of these ports, for the period of time specified here
as the "timeout" value, the incoming plot data will be considered complete.
Subsequent incoming data will begin a new plot. Valid values range from 5
to 300 seconds, with a factory default of 5 seconds.
2. VPI timeout enabled - Selecting this option (by placing a checkmark in
the box), causes the Host Port Timeout to also apply to the VPI port, if
present on your Controller. If not selected (with the box not checked), then
the VPI port will not time out while waiting for plot data.
3. SCSI
SCSI Port ID - Click on this list box to select the value of the host
interface target SCSI ID. The range of possible values is from 0 to 7.
SCSI Bus Termination - If the printer is the last device on the SCSI
bus, click on this list box and select Enabled. This will enable SCSI bus
termination within the printer.
4. Serial Port
Baud Rate - Click on this list box to select the baud rate on the
printer's serial port. The possible values are 300, 600, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600 and 19200.
Flow Control - Click on this list box to set the flow control to NONE,
XON/XOFF, RTS/CTS, or BOTH. RTS/CTS corresponds to hardware
control and XON/XOFF to software control.
Parity - Click on this list box to set the parity to EVEN, ODD or NONE.
Press the Update Printer button to update the requested parameter changes in
the printer.
NOTE: Changes made here only change the serial port settings on the printer
(and not your computer).
