Serial Input

5. Serial Input
NOTE:
This section only applies if your product is equipped
with a serial connector.
The serial port is connected to the serial output on a PC or similar
source to enable sharing the printer with the host.
For this connection you need a spare cable ending in a 25-pole RS
connector (order no. 076183).
To use RS 232 input, Function Y24, "Data Input/Output Port Selec-
tion" must be set to zero (0) which is factory default (see Supported
FSL Functions in the relevant printer driver Programmer's Guide
enclosed on your original documentation kit diskette ).
On the PC you must also make the following settings match the
default settings on the box.
Baud rate
Number of data bits =
Parity
Number of stop bits =
It this is not possible, you must change the Functions 15, 16, 17, and
18 on the box to match the PC's value.
NOTE:
Programming of Functions 15,16,17,18 and 24 is not
possible via the serial port. These functions have to
be programmed either via the coax or via the parallel
input port.
