Serial Interface Menu - IBM 6400 Setup Manual

Serial Interface Menu

The serial parameters in the printer must be set to match the serial interface
in the host computer (at the other end of the printer data cable). Otherwise,
the printer may not operate correctly, and data characters from the
computer may not print or may appear as "garbled" text.
