3. Communication Requirements
To enable communications between the printer and the computer, the printer communications setup must match the setup for the host computer. The options are:
∙Baud rate
∙Parity
∙Data flow control
∙Data bits
∙Stop bits
All online data uses the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character code for interpretation of bits as characters.
Input Characteristics
Below are the input characteristics for communications. The defaults are shown in bold print.
∙Asynchronous
∙Full duplex
∙Selectable options:
Baud rate | 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 |
Parity | No parity, Odd, Even |
Data flow | Xon/Xoff, Data Terminal Ready (DTR) |
Data bits | Seven (7) or eight (8) |
Stop bits | One (1) or two (2) |
Modify these communication settings on your printer as necessary to match the settings on your host computer. See "Setting Communication Values" in this chapter.
