Serial Menu - Lexmark 17J0050 - C 752n Color Laser Printer User Reference

Serial Menu

Use the Serial Menu to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the printer through a serial port (either
Standard Serial or Serial Opt <x>).
Note: Values marked with an asterisk (*) are the factory default settings.
Menu Item Purpose
Baud To specify the rate at which data can
be received through the serial port.
Data Bits To specify the number of data bits that
are sent in each transmission frame.
Honor DSR To determine whether the printer uses
the Data Set Ready (DSR) signal.
DSR is one of the handshaking signals
for most serial interface cables.
The serial interface uses DSR to
distinguish data sent by the computer
from data created by electrical noise in
the serial cable. This electrical noise
can cause stray characters to print.
Select On to prevent stray characters
from printing.
Job To temporarily store jobs on the printer
hard disk before printing.
Buffering
Note: Changing the Job Buffering
menu item automatically resets the
printer.
