PART 6 Data Communications

To set the SF Unit hardware parameters

1. Press FUNC twice to display the second function menu.

You can perform the above operation in the Telephone Directory, Memo Mode, Schedule Keeper, To Do Mode, Calendar or Reminder.

In the Expense Mode, you should press FUNC three times.

2.Press 4 to select DATA COMM.

3.Press 3 to select SET UP PAR.

The highlighted items on the display are the parameters that are currently set.

The PARITY parameter is flashing because it is selected.

4.Use the Kand Lcursor keys to change the selected parameter on the display.

5.Use the H and J cursor keys to change the highlighted setting of the currently selected parameter.

6.When the parameters are set the way you want them, press SET to store them in memory.

About communications parameters...

Communications parameters make it possible for two communicating units to understand each other. The following explanations are provided for your information only. The only thing you need to remember is that the parameters of the send unit and the receive unit must be identical. Otherwise you will not be able to transfer data successfully.

PARITY

Parity is used for error detection during data exchanges. You can set the SF Unit parity as even (E), odd (O), or none (N).

BIT LENGTH

The bit length parameter states how many bits are to be used for each character. You can set the SF Unit bit length as 7 bits or 8 bits.

BPS

The letters “BPS” stand for “bits per second,” and this setting represents the speed at which data is sent. The SF Unit lets you set a speed of either 4800 or 9600.
