B.4.1

Parameters of the RS-232C Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules followed by various devices to send or receive data. The
parameters of the RS-232C protocol are stored in the battery-powered memory of the
printer. You can verify these parameters on the status printout as marked by the following
identifications:
• H1: Baud rate
• H2: Number of data bits
• H3: Number of stop bits
• H4: Parity
• H5: Protocol logic
• H6: Buffer-nearly-full threshold
• H7: Buffer nearly-empty threshold
• H8: Received data buffer size
The parameters can be changed from the printer operator panel. To change the value for the
serial interface parameters, see
Changing Serial Interface Parameters on page
This following section outlines the parameters and their values you can select on the
operator panel:
H1: Baud rate
Parameter value Baud rate
12 1200
24 2400
48 4800
96 9600
19 19200
38 38400
57 57600
11 115200
The factory setting is 96 (9600 baud).
H2: Number of data bits
7 or 8. The factory setting is 8.
H3: Number of stop bits
1 or 2. The factory setting is 1.
