The serial communication parameters control the communication
between the printer and the PC connected on the serial port, 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.
The serial cable you need is not included in the shipping box with the
printer. To connect the printer to your PC using the serial port, you
need:
