Parity
The parity decides how the firmware will check for transmission
errors. There are five options:
• None (default)
• Even
• Odd
• Mark
• Space
Stop Bits
The number of stop bits specifies how many bits will define the
end of a character. There are two options:
• 1 (default)
• 2
Flow Control
RTS/CTS is a protocol in which communication is controlled via
currents through separate lines in a cable that are set either to
HIGH or LOW. By default, this option is disabled.
CTS on the Printer is connected to RTS on the PC and vice
versa. CTS HIGH from the printer indicates that the unit is
ready to receive data.
CTS LOW from the printer indicated that the receive buffer is
full (see XON/XOFF). In some computer programs, for example
Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal, RTS/CTS is designated
"Hardware."
XON/XOFF is a protocol in which communication is controlled
by the control characters XON (ASCII 17 dec.) and XOFF
(ASCII 19 dec.) transmitted on the same line as the data. XON/
XOFF can be enabled/disabled separately for data received from
the host by the printer (printer sends XON/XOFF) and for data
transmitted to the host from the printer (host sends XON/
XOFF).
New Line
Selects the character or characters transmitted from the printer to
indicate a new line. There are three options:
• CR/LFASCII 13 + 10 dec. (default)
