The serial communication setup controls the communication be-
tween the printer and the connected computer or other devices on
the standard serial channel "uart1:" and the optional serial channel
"uart2:". The latter channel require an optional interface board to be
fitted. The printer's firmware detects if an optional interface board
is fitted and presents additional sets of communication setup menus
for the extra serial channel "uart2:" after "uart1:".
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 each serial communication channel, 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
Character Length
The character length specifies the number of bits in a character. For
most purposes 7 bits will be sufficient, but if special characters or
characters specific for other languages are to be used, 8 bits are
recommended. Refer to the Intermec Fingerprint 7.12 Reference
Manual for information on which characters are available in vari-
ous combinations of character length and character set.
• 7 Characters ASCII 0 – 127 decimal
• 8 Characters ASCII 0 – 255 decimal (default)
