the baud rate at the DocuMatch, use the procedure out-
lined above but keep pressing Menu after I/O=SERIAL is
displayed until BAUD RATE is displayed. Use the Select Up
and Select down keys to cycle through the available baud
rates and press Feeder Select to select the one you want
to try. As before, press Reset Enter to save the change.
At the PC go back to the Device Manager as described
above and select a matching baud rate. Save the changes
as above and print another test page to make sure every-
thing works properly.
If you are trying to use high baud rates, print several pages,
preferably with graphics and examine the results carefully
to make sure there are no data errors. If you do get errors,
use a shorter cable or a slower speed.
If you want to go back to the standard parallel port, you
need to repeat this process, but undo the changes you
have made. At the DocuMatch printer panel, at the point
where you selected Serial, choose Parallel instead, and on
the PC, at DocuMatch Printer Properties/Details, where
you selected a COM port, choose the appropriate LPT port
instead. Of course, you will also need to reconnect the
parallel cable.
