As an alternative, flow control can be obtained by entering a numeric option to reflect the desired flow control. This option is formed by adding together the appropriate numbers from the table below to provide a more flexible control of flow.

0 No flow control

1X-on/off output control

2X-on/off input control

4 RTS/CTS output control

8 RTS/CTS input control

For example, the default flow control is the number 7 (7 = 1 + 2 + 4 from the table above) for bi-directional X-ON/OFF and output hardware flow control.

parity:

n 8-bit, no parity (default).

 

s 8-bit, no parity, strip high bit.

 

e 7-bit, even parity.

 

o 7-bit, odd parity.

The default flow and parity control is -ryn, or x-on x-off flow control and 8-bit, no parity.

-s{n}

Set the baud rate for the terminal. Defaults to 9600.

-t

Set the UNIX terminal device address. This option has a

 

parameter immediately following giving the UNIX path

 

name of the terminal to use as the port. For example,

 

-t/dev/pts01.If not supplied, the default is your local

 

terminal, if running as a foreground task, and no terminal,

 

(Phantom), if running as a background task.

-v

Alter the default number of virtual memory buffers for this

 

line. This is followed by a number from 20 to 256. Since

 

memory requirements for a 256 PICK printer are low,

 

printer lines should be set to a value of 20 pages.

CAUTION: Altering the default number of virtual memory buffers for a line increases the true memory requirements of the system.
