Baud Rate
This option sets the transmission speed of the data. The 8900 allows transmission at baud
rates of 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 baud.
Data Bits
This option sets the number of data bits sent in each character. Select 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits.
Parity
Parity bits are used to detect errors in transmission. An extra data bit is sent with each
character, so that the number of single bits in each character, including the parity bit, is
always odd or always even. If a byte is received with the incorrect number of bits, there is
an error in the transmission of data. Select None, Odd, or Even.
Stop Bits
This option sets the stop bits sent at the end of every character to allow the printer to detect
the end of a character. Select 1, 1.5, or 2 bits.
Flow Control
This option sets how the flow of data is controlled. The two options are:
•
Xon/Xoff—the special characters 'Xon' and Xoff' control the flow of data between the
printer and the remote host. An escape character identifies the special characters in the
data stream.
•
None—there is no control of the flow of data between the printer and the remote host.
Select the required options, and then touch the Exit button to return to the Edit Connection:
