Printronix SL5000E series User Manual page 309

Both of these test procedures are covered in this chapter. Configuration items
to check include the following:
•
Check that the data string being sent to the printer contains the correct
information.
•
Verify that the correct host interface port is being used and that the
communication parameters match those of the host (e.g., baud rate,
parity, etc.).
•
Verify that the correct interface cable is installed between the host and the
printer.
Interfacing
The printer will not function properly with an incorrectly wired cable or the
wrong interface cable installed. If the cable is suspect, contact Printronix or
your authorized service representative.
When the printer is first powered up, it will reset itself to the communication
default parameters. The parameters are listed in the following table:
PARAMETER
Baud
Data Bits
Parity

The printer interface configuration settings may be entered from the control
panel. See Chapter 3, "Configuring The Printer" for complete instructions.
