The serial communication parameters control the communica-
tion between the printer and the connected computer or other
devices on the standard serial port "uart1:" and the optional
serial ports "uart2:" and "uart3:". The optional ports require
an optional interface board. The printer's fi rmware detects if an
interface board is installed in the printer and presents additional
sets of communication setup menus depending on type of com-
munication (refer to diagrams 3-5 in Chapter 7, "Setup Mode").
The serial communication parameters have no effect on parallel com-
munications, on Ethernet communications, or on the IN and OUT
ports on the optional Industrial Interface Board.
For the serial communication channel "uart1", the following
parameters can be set. Make sure they 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 9 options:
• 300
• 600
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600
• 19200
• 38400
• 57600
