4.1.6 Communications

SERIAL PORT A♦			Controls the communications settings for
			Serial Port A.
	BAUD RATE		Determines the serial communication rate.
		38400	38400 bits per second
		28800	28800 bits per second
		19200	19200 bits per second
		²9600	9600 bits per second
		4800	4800 bits per second
		2400	2400 bits per second
		1200	1200 bits per second
		PROTOCOL	Sets the data flow control (handshaking)
			method.
		²BOTH	Uses both handshaking methods.
		SOFTWARE	XON/XOFF
		HARDWARE	CTS/DTR
		NONE	No flow control is used.
	PARITY		Sets Word parity
		²NONE	No parity
		ODD	Odd parity
		EVEN	Even parity
	DATA BITS		Sets Word length
		7	Seven bit Word length
		²8	Eight bit Word length
	STOP BITS		Sets the number of stop bits
		²1	One stop bit
		2	Two stop bits

SERIAL PORT B♦

Same as Serial Port A, for an optional connection. If not present, this displays ‘NOT INSTALLED’ when accessed.

		♦	Controls the communications settings for
PARALLEL PORT A			Parallel Port A.
	PORT DIRECTION		Determines if messages are sent from the
			printer to the host via the parallel port.
		²UNI-DIRECTIONAL	One-way printer communication.

BI-DIRECTIONAL

Enables IEEE 1284 back-channel operation.
