The printer does n ot accept data from another interfac e unless
it receives no data from the current interface for the period set
in I/F time-out. After the timeout limit is reached without
receiving further data, the printer switches to the interface that
receives data next.
Inpu t bu ffe r
Turn on this setting to enable the input buffer which provides
additional memory to free up the computer more quickly when
you print large amounts of text or graphics. To disable the
buffer, turn it off.
Baud rate
When you use the serial interface, you need to set the baud rate
or serial data transfer speed in bits per second (bps). The
printer communicates with your computer at the specified rate.
Check your computer manual or application program for the
correct baud rate setting. Your computer and printer should
always be set to the same rate.
Parity
Set the parity (a method of error detection) for serial data
transfer if you use the serial interface.
Check your computer manual or application program for the
correct parity setting. Your computer and printer should
always be set to the same parity setting.
Auto tear-off
Turn on the auto tear-off feature if you use continuous paper to
easily tear off the printed pages. The printer automatically
feeds the paper to the printer’s tear-off edge after printing when
Auto tear-off is on. Make sure this feature is off when you use
labels.
