Printer
The printer settings in the service settings menu must be set exactly the same on the printer
being used. This includes:
~ printer baud rate
~ printer parity
~ printer data bits
~ printer stop bits
~ printer handshaking
The above settings are usually configured on a printer by DIP switches. The dip switch settings
can be found in the manufacturers information provided with the printer.
