Serial Communication Setup

104
The serial communication parameters control the
communication between the printer and the connected computer
or other devices on the standard serial port.
Make sure the printer's communication parameters match the
setup of the connected device or vice versa. If the setup of the
printer and the setup of the host do not match, the response from
the printer to host will be garbled.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is the transmission speed in bits per second. There
are eight options:
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600 (default)
• 19200
• 38400
• 57600
• 115200
Data Bits
The Data Bits parameter specifies the number of bits that will
define a character. Eight bits are recommended, since this option
allows more special characters and characters that are used
exclusively in foreign languages. Refer to the IPL Programmer's
Reference Manual (P/N 066396-xxx) for more information.
• 7 (Characters ASCII 000 to 127 decimal)
• 8 (Characters ASCII 000 to 255 decimal) (default)
Parity
The parity decides how the firmware will check for transmission
errors. There are five options:
• None (default)
• Even
• Odd
