Connecting the Printer to the Computer

 

If you are not sure about the printer’s current parameter settings, reset them to the

 

values shown above (i.e., baud rate = 9600 bps, etc.). You can perform parameter

 

settings from the operation panel. See Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section

 

3.5.2 Changing Serial Interface Parameters on page 3-39.

you to do this by DIP switch settings that should be made before power is turned on.
