Baud

Pressing YES prints out the present baud setting:

19200

9600 (factory default)

4800

2400

1200

Baud is the speed at which serial information flows between the computer and printer. In general, the higher the baud value, the faster this interface speed. Print speed, however, is maximized at a serial interface speed of 9600 baud, the factory default.

Data Bits

Pressing YES prints out the present setting:

8 Bits (factory default)

7 Bits

This defines the number of data bits in each byte transmitted between computer and printer.

8 Bits: Commonly, an eight-bit byte is necessary for graphics. Eight bits also allows access to all of the character and control data bytes (0-255) in the character sets.
