Serial connections

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 your printer and computer, or when a parallel interface is not available.

Before you can print, you must establish communication between your printer and computer. To do this, you have to 1) set serial parameters in the printer, 2) install a printer driver on the attached computer, and 3) match the serial settings in the COM port.

Setting parameters in the printer
