RS-232C Protocol

B.4 RS-232C Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules the computer follows in sending data to the printer. The RS-232C parameters are stored in battery backed-up memory. They are indicated on the status printout. They can be changed by the FRPO (firmware reprogram) command described in the Technical Reference provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer. The parameters and their identification codes are given below.
