•
Baud Rate. Sets the baud rate of the serial interface used to
communicate to the PNE. Baud rate is the speed at which serial data is
transferred between the PNE and the printer. The options for the RS-232
interface are 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200 Baud.
NOTE: If you select a baud rate that is greater than 19200 and you
experience data loss, you may need to lower the baud rate.
The factory default is 9600.
•
Word Length. Sets the length of the serial data word. The length of the
data word can be set to 7 or 8 bits and must match the corresponding
data bits setting in the PNE. The factory default is 8.
•
Stop Bits. Sets the number of stop bits in the serial data word. Either 1 or
2 stop bits can be selected. The setting must match the corresponding
stop bit setting in the PNE. The factory default is 1.
•
Parity. The options are Odd, Even, Mark, Sense, or None. The setting
must match the corresponding parity setting in the PNE.
The factory default is None.
•
Modem
This menu enables or disables the modem interface. After changing the
modem menus, save the configuration as the power-up configuration and
reboot the printer. The factory default is Disable.
NOTE: Connect the modem to the selected serial interface for printer
management (debug or host serial), and power on the modem before
powering on the printer. The printer will search for a modem at
power-up, and display a message on the printer front panel if a
modem is detected.
•
Modem NVM
This setting defines whether the modem configuration, as stored in the
modem's NVM, should be used, or if the printer should send a modem
intialization string. When enabled, the printer will only send an ATZ0
command to the modem on power-up. This command resets the modem
to configuration 0. When disabled, the printer sends a generic modem
initialization string on power-up. The factory default is Enable.
NOTE: This generic initialization string does not work for all modem types.
If the initilization string does not work, the modem must be configured
manually, the setting must be stored in configuration 0, and the
printer 'Modem NVM' menu must be set to enable.
•
Modem Status
•
Enable (factory default). Displays the modem status commands on
the printer control panel.
•
Disable. Does not display the modem status commands on the
printer control panel.
