PARALLEL / RS232

PARALLEL / RS422

PARALLEL
In case the PARALLEL / RS232 or PARALLEL / RS422 interface type is selected the
printer switches automatically between the parallel and serial interface. The first
data received at the port determine which interface port becomes active. The
other interface port will be closed so that only one interface is active at a time (for
detailed information see Appendix A Interface Description).
The factory settings for the interface type are: PARALL./RS232, 8 bit word length,
9600 baud rate, even parity bit, DTR protocol, ignore DSR+CTS, and 64 Kbyte
Buffer.
WORD LENGTH
that represent a word; values are 7 or 8 bit
BAUD RATE (Only indicated if the serial interface is selected) Controls the speed of
data transfer. Possible transfer rates are: 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 or
38400 bps.
PARITY BIT (Only indicated if the serial interface is selected)
The data transfer will be checked by an even or odd parity bit. The values are:
EVEN, ODD, or NONE.
PROTOCOL (Only indicated if the serial interface is selected) Selectable are: DTR,
XON/XOFF, or XON/XOFF+DTR.
Note: The setting switches automatically from DTR to XON/XOFF if I/F Type
