The serial communication parameters control the communication
between the printer and the connected computer or other devices on
the standard serial port "uart1:" and the optional serial ports "uart2:"
and "uart3:". The optional ports require an optional interface board.
The printer's fi rmware detects if an interface board is installed in
the printer and presents additional sets of communication setup
menus depending on type of communication (refer to diagrams 3-5
in Chapter 8, "Setup Mode.")
The serial communication parameters have no effect on parallel
communications, on Ethernet communications, or on the IN and
OUT ports on the optional Industrial Interface Board.
For the serial communication channel "uart1:", the following
parameters can be set. Make sure they match the setup of the
connected device or vice versa. If the setup of the printer and the
setup of the host do not match, the response from the printer to
the host will be garbled.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is the transmission speed in bits per second. There
are 10 options:
• 300
• 600
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600 (default)
• 19200
• 38400
• 57600
• 115200
