When using the Serial Interface for RS-232C communications, the baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bit(s), and

handshaking method (XON/XOFF, ETX/ACK, RTS/CTS) must match the settings on the host computer. If

these settings do not match, errors and/or lost data may occur.

When using the Serial Interface for USB communications, the printer's default values of 57,600 Baud, 8 Data

Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity, and RTS/CTS=Yes must be used.

The table below lists the menu items available, the values that may be selected, and the factory default value.

Which setup method may be used to change values is indicated by a checkmark.

Following the tables are detailed descriptions of each setup item. In the detailed descriptions an asterisk (*)

indicates the factory default value.

The Serial Interface Menu items may be configured using either the Mobile Setup Utility or the Control Panel

Setup feature built into the printer. Before using the Mobile Setup Utility, please read the following note.

Note: In order to use the Mobile Setup Utility, communications must first be established between the host

device running the utility and the printer. This may require that you first use the Control Panel Setup

to establish communications and then use the Mobile Setup Utility for final configuration or to

configure items in other interface menus.
