Communication Failures–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Errors 410 to 413 are usually caused by a hardware failure, by an incorrect SETUP option or by the host ignoring flow control (XON/OFF, CTS/RTS or DTR).

n The valid communication settings are shown below.

Baud rate	1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
Word length	7 or 8
Stop bits	1 or 2
Parity	Odd, Even, None
Flow control	None, XON/XOFF, DTR, CTS
Reset	Yes or No

Error Description/Action

Code

410Parity on the printer does not match the parity on the host. Check the parity setting under SETUP options.

411Framing error. The printer cannot communicate with the host. Make sure the host is turned on, communication cables are connected correctly, communication settings are correct, and communications are active. Check the baud rate, word length, and stop bits to make sure they match those at the host. Do not toggle between MS-Windows and MS-DOS, while using the COPY command, or you will receive a framing error. (Exit MS-Windows before using the COPY command.) Re-transmit the data.
