Appendix A • Control Panel Menus

5.Communications Transmitting data from the computer to the DA700/DA750 is by way of the parallel interface or the serial interface. The printer automatically senses the interface through which data is being sent. When the computer uses the DA700/DA750’s parallel interface no communication settings are required.

When the serial interface is used the DA700/DA750 Com- muications menu settings must be configured to match the computer settings. Configure the computer to use either the XON/XOFF or DTR handshaking settings to communi- cate with the DA700/DA750. These sub menus are used to change the DA700/DA750 serial communications:

A. Baud Rate

B.Parity

C.Word Length and

D.Line Termination.

NOTE: For DOS systems only: Enter the MODE command each time the computer is turned on, or it can be put into the autoexec.bat file.

For Parallel: Type MODE LPT1:,,P and press Enter. “Infi- nite Retry On Parallel Printer Time-Out” will appear on your computer’s screen.

For Serial (at 9600 Baud, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and continuous retry on all time outs): Type

MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P and press Enter.
