You can use a serial connection to communicate with your PC and
run PrintSet, LabelShop, or InterDriver. You can also use the serial
port to send commands directly to the printer through a serial
communications program like HyperTerminal.
The serial communication parameters control the communication
between the printer and the PC, referred to as "uart1:" on the printer.
Make sure the serial port settings on the printer match the settings on
the connected device. The default serial communication settings on
the printer are: 115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and
no flow control.
To connect the printer to your PC using the serial port, you need a
separately purchased serial cable (P/N 075497).
