You will also need to change the serial port configuration of your PC's com port to match that of the Print Master. If using the Print Master's factory default serial configuration, this is accomplished via the DOS command C:>MODE COMy: 9600, N, 8,1,P where y is the number of the appropriate com port. This command should be part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Alternatively, you may use the SMODE.EXE utility to operate at speeds greater than 9600 bps.
NOTE: All commands shown in bold print above and on the previous page should be located in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file after the PATH command and before any DOS shell commands. You should use DOS EDLIN or EDIT to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Please refer to your DOS documentation for instructions on EDLIN or EDIT. As an alternative, you may use the
EXAMPLE: Suppose you are connecting your PC's COM1 port to Print Master using factory default serial parameters and you intend to use the RAMEXEC hot key software which has been copied to a subdirectory call BAYTECH. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT file would need to contain the following commands:
.
.
PATH=C:\...;C:\BAYTECH MODE LPT1:=COM1: MODE COM1: 9600,N,8,1,P
RAMEXEC
.
.
The vertical dots before the PATH command and after the RAMEXEC command represent other commands that may be part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The horizontal dots shown in the PATH command represent other subdirectories that may be part of the PATH command.
