(The “T” position is used for testing purposes. See the section on testing later on in the manual.)
CAUTION:
When delivered, the switch is in neither the B, A or T position, but is nevertheless set to PCL as a default. To change the driver, it is very important you follow the instructions below in the “Changing the Printer Driver” section. Note that operating position is alwaysaway from the B, A or T position.
Changing the Printer Driver
To change from PCL to FSL driver or vice versa, first of all the rotary switch has to be in position T at power on. The current printer driver will be indicated on a printout. The actual selection of printer driver is then made by turning the rotary switch to position A (PCL) or B (FSL). The new position will be indicated as either “PCL” or “alternate printer driver” (FSL) on a second printout. When the correct position is obtained, turn the rotary switch away from the A, B or T positions (any other position will do). Power the unit off then on again. The new driver is now active.
NOTE:
Emulation change results in the interface being reset to factory default.
SERIAL (IN/OUT) RS232

To use RS input Function 24, the "Data Input/Output Port Select" must be set to zero (which is factory default).
On the PC you must also make the following settings to match the default
settings on the box: |
|
|
Baud rate | = 9600 | |
Number of data bits | = 8 | |
Parity | = | None |
Stop Bits | = | 1 |
If this is not possible, you must change functions 15, 16, 17 and 18 on the box to match the PC's values.
