Setup Parameters

Serial Communication

The serial communication parameters control the communication
between the printer and the connected computer or other devices on
the standard serial port "uart1:" and the optional serial ports "uart2:",
"uart3:", "uart4:", and "uart5:". The optional ports require one or two
optional interface boards. The printer's firmware detects if an interface
board is installed in the printer and presents additional sets of commu-
nication setup menus depending on type of communication (refer to
Chapter 7, "Setup Mode" and the overviews depicted in Appendix E).
Note: The serial communication parameters have no effect on
parallel or EasyLAN communications, or on the IN and OUT
ports on the optional 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.
