RS-232 And RS-422 Serial Interface Configuration

By using the control panel, you can verify and change several interface parameters in order to meet specific application requirements.

Refer to “Serial Submenu” on page 119 for RS-232 and RS-422 parameter descriptions and information on selecting values for the following parameters:

RS-232 and RS-422

•Baud Rate (data rate selected from the operator panel)

•Data Bits (7 or 8 Bits)

•Stop Bits (1 or 2 Bits)

•Parity (None, Odd, Even, Mark or Sense)

RS-232 only

•Data Terminal Ready logic

•Request to Send logic

Some application programs require a unique configuration. If the printer is not working properly with the configuration you selected, contact an authorized Printronix representative.
