Chapter 3 Printer Configuration

SERIES 1, 2 CH
When you select the Series 1 with 2 Characters proto col, the printer
behaves exactly the same as the Series 1 with 1 Character
protocol, except that the printer sends two-character response s to
the host. These response characters are listed in the following
table:
NOTE: When using the SERIES 1, 2 CH protocol, be careful with
the transmission of binary data (control codes, bit images,
etc.) since the printer discards poll characters.
Baud Rate
Values: 110 to 256,000.
9600 is the default.
This parameter must be set to match your host computer.
Baud rate is the number of bits, including control bits (start/stop and
parity bits) transferred per second over the interface.
Data Bits
Values: 5 to 8 (default).
This parameter must be set to match your host computer.
Serial interfaces support 5, 6, 7, and 8-bit transfer of data wor ds.
Most use 8-bit data transfer, but this must match the host comp uter.
