Interfaces

Baud Rate

Sets the rate data is received (bits per second) from the host over the serial interface.

Menu

Administration/Communications/Serial/Baud Rate

 

 

Choices

300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400

 

 

 

Default

9600

 

 

 

Notes

Set this option to match the baud rate used by the host. Baud

 

rates of 19200 and 38400 require RTS/CTS hardware flow

 

control (Administration/Communications/Serial/Hdwe Flow Ctl

 

menu). These rates do not support XON/XOFF software flow

 

control (Administration/Communications/Serial /Rcv Sw Flow

 

Ctl menu).

 

 

When selecting a baud rate of 2400 or below, increase the

 

Administration/Communications/Timeouts/Emul Timeout

 

value as follows:

 

 

Baud Rate

Emulation Timeout (seconds)

 

2400

10*

 

1200

20

 

600

40

 

300

80

 

*A baud rate of 2400 works with a 5-second emulation timeout

 

value, but there is no margin for delays between characters.

 

 

 

Data Bits

Sets the number of data bits transmitted per character.

Menu

Default

8

Default Job Priority

Allows you to specify which jobs are printed first, according to the interface through which they are received, when jobs are received simultaneously. In other words, you can give jobs received via the
