Serial Device Identification

The serial device must report its identification to the system using an identification string
at 1200 baud. The identification string consists of 18 fields that identify the device, class
of the device, and other compatible devices. Only five of the fields are required by all
serial devices; all others are optional. The identification string used by the Ithaca
Printer follows.
028H
0,1
'IPR0210'
\PRINTER
\M280 PcOS
\SC:
Serial Configuration:
xxH
029H
Note: The model field may be altered to generate PnP ID's other than
―M280 PcOS‖ by special order.
When the identification is complete, the printer returns to the baud rate
specified in the configuration.
