SINTERFACE
S I/F TYPE (Interface Type)
The following types are available: S PARALLEL / RS232
S PARALLEL / RS422
S PARALLEL
In case the PARALLEL / RS232 or PARALLEL / RS422 interface type is selected the printer switches automatically between the parallel and serial interface. The first data received at the port determine which interface port becomes active. The other interface port will be closed so that only one interface is active at a time (for detailed information see Appendix A Interface Description).
The factory setting for the interface type are: PARALL./RS232, 8 bit word length, 9600 baud rate, even parity bit, DTR protocol, ignore DSR+CTS, and 8 Kbyte Buffer.
SWORD LENGTH
Number of bits that represent a word; values are 7 or 8 bit
SBAUD RATE (Only indicated if the serial interface is selected) Controls the speed of data transfer. Possible transfer rates are: 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bps.
SPARITY BIT (Only indicated if the serial interface is selected)
The data transfer will be checked by an even or odd parity bit. The values are: EVEN, ODD, or NONE.
SPROTOCOL (Only indicated if the serial interface is selected) Selectable are: DTR, XON/XOFF, or XON/XOFF+DTR.
