Unit 4: Printer Configuration
SERIAL INTERFACE MODE (TABLE 4-4)
Is the main menu screen for the Host Interface option of the INTERFACES mode. There are only
two options relative to the serial interface, ignore all others.
• Serial - factory default. Allows the operator to select the interface and the relative menus will
follow.
• Auto Switching - the printer automatically switches to the relative interface type and moves
into the applicable menus.
Is the menu selection screen for the Serial Port option of the INTERFACES mode.
Allows setting the baud rate for the serial interface. The baud rate is the speed serial data is
transferred between the host computer and the printer. The options for RS232 and RS422 are
600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 baud.
Note: If using RS232 and the selected baud rate is greter than 19200, data loss may occur. To
correct this, it may be necessary to lower the baud rate or use RS422. An increase in the Buffer
Size in K parameter from the default (1 Kbyte) may be required to improve performance.
The factory default is 9600.
This menu allows the length of the serial data word to be set. The data word length can be set to
7 or 8 bits and must match the corresponding data bits setting in the host computer.
The factory default is 8.
This menu allows the quantity of stop bits in the serial word to be set. either 1 or 2 stop bits may
be selected, but the setting must match the corresponding stop bit setting in the host computer.
This menu screen allows the parity to be set, but the setting must match that of the host
computer. The options are: Odd, Even, Mark, Sense, or None.
The factory default is None.
