The serial communication setup controls the communication
between the printer and the connected computer or other devices
on the standard serial channel "uart1:" and the optional serial
channels "uart2:" and "uart3:". The latter channels require an
optional interface board to be fi tted. The printer's fi rmware detects
if an optional interface board is fi tted and presents additional sets of
communication setup menus depending on type of communication
(refer to diagrams #3 – 5 in chapter 7 "Setup Mode".
The serial communication setup has no consequence whatsoever
for parallel communication or for 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.
Baudrate
The baudrate is the transmission speed in bits per second. There
are 9 options:
• 300
• 600
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600 (default)
• 19200
• 38400
• 57600
