SelecType Settings

INTERFACE: If your computer has a serial interface, you need to change the interface setting to Serial. If you are using an optional interface board, be sure that the interface setting is Parallel, regardless of the actual type of interface you installed. See the section on interface boards in Chapter 5 for more information.

BAUD RATE, PARITY: Set these only if you are using the serial interface. These options do not display in SelecType unless the interface is set to Serial. Check your computer manual for the correct baud rate and parity settings. Your computer and printer must have the same baud rate and parity in order to communicate properly.

AUTO LINE FEED: This setting should remain at its default value (Off) in most cases. Most applications send automatic line feeds at the end of every line. If all of the lines are

printing on top of each other, then set AUTO LINE FEED to

On.

DC1/DC3: This setting should also be left at its default value (Disable) in most cases. See the explanation of these codes in Chapter 9 for more information.
