Configuring The Printer's Serial Port For A Pc - Tektronix Phaser 550 Service Manual

Configuring the printer's serial port for a PC
Use the PostScript command file DEVPARAM.PS (located on the Printers
Utilities diskette) to modify the printer's serial port settings.
The following example sets flow control to Xon/Xoff, parity to none, data bits to 8,
stop bits to 2 and the baud rate to 9600. In the example below, the changes are
persistent across print jobs and across power cycles; they remain in effect until
specifically changed again.
