Serial port Set-up Parameters

Baud rate: 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400.

Baud rate set-up parameters are programmable by software commands only.

Data bits: 8 data bits, 1 start bit and 1 stop bit.

Parity bit: None

Handshaking: XON/XOFF (software flow control) and CTS/RTS (hardware flow control).

Before trying to print with applications verify that the Windows Printer Driver and the serial port communications parameters are checked. You should also set the flow control to “Xon/Xoff” or “Hardware”.
