Serial printing

With serial printing, data is transferred one bit at a time. Although serial printing is usually slower than parallel printing, it is

the preferred option when there is a great deal of distance between the printer a nd com puter, or when a parallel interface is

not available.

Note: A serial interface card is required and can be purchased separately.

Before printing, establishing communication between the printer and computer is required. To do this:

1Set serial parameters in the printer.

2Install a printer driver on the attached computer.

3Match the serial settings in the COM port.

a change).

5Press until <Setting> appears, and then press (where <Setting> is the setting required for a

change).

•Maximum baud rate supported is 115,200.

•Data Bits must be set to 7 or 8.

•Parity must be set to Even, Odd, or None.

•Stop Bits must be set to 2.

•Flow Control recommended protocol setting is Xon/Xoff.
