Configuring The Printer; To Define Software Or Hardware Handshaking - NCR 7158 Owner's Manual

8-8 Chapter 8: Universal Serial Bus

Configuring the Printer

USB is a plug-and-play environment. As such, neither the printer nor
the host requires user configuration to work. However, since the NCR
solution simulates a serial communication interface, you must
configure "handshaking" on the printer for proper operation. The
printer can be configured to use hardware flow control (using
DTR/DSR) or software flow control (using XON/XOFF). All other
serial communication parameters (i.e., baud rate, parity, stop bits, and
data bits) are ignored.

To define software or hardware handshaking:

1. Open the Receipt Cover and check whether there is paper in the
printer. If there isn't, insert the paper roll, as described in the
Owner's Manual.
2. Turn the printer so the back is facing you.
Set DIP switch 1 to the On position (up).
