Serial Menu

The Serial menu is available only when you have installed the optional LocalTalk/Serial module or the Serial interface card (described in Chapter 4) and have set the Emulation menu to Serial (see page 3-10). You may need to change these settings to match the serial settings used by your computer.

Note:

You can also change these settings using the Remote Control Panel utility as described in the Technical Information manual. To match the computer’s baud rate or set a higher one than that supported by your computer, see the Technical Information manual (this may not work with some computers).
