C.4. RS-232C Cable Connection

If you are uncertain as to the printer's current parameter settings, you can reset them to the values listed above by following the manner described in the last page in this manual.

8.Set the computer to the same parameters as the printer. On many computers this can be done by setting DIP switches before power is turned on. Another method is as follows:

In DOS, enter the following commands:

C:\>MODE COM1:96,N,8,1,P

C:\>MODE LPT1:=COM1

To test the interface, then enter:

CTRL P

C:\>DIR

CTRL P

The software settings made by the procedures above are temporary. On most computers, per- manent settings must be made with DIP switches.

If you want to use a different baud rate or change any of the other RS-232C parameters, you can use the printer's FRPO (firmware reprogram) command. See the Programming Manual for details.
