B.4 RS-232C Protocol

B.4.1 Parameters of the RS-232C Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules followed by various devices to send or receive data. The parameters of the RS-232C protocol are stored in the battery-powered memory of the printer. You can verify these parameters on the status printout as marked by the following identifications:

•H1: Baud rate

•H2: Number of data bits

•H3: Number of stop bits

•H4: Parity

•H5: Protocol logic

•H6: Buffer-nearly-full threshold

•H7: Buffer nearly-empty threshold

•H8: Received data buffer size

The parameters can be changed from the printer operator panel. To change the value for the serial interface parameters, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.5.2 Changing Serial Interface Parameters on page 3-35.

This following section outlines the parameters and their values you can select on the operator panel:

H1: Baud rate
