	Allows setting the baud rate for the serial interface. The baud rate is the speed serial data is
	transferred between the host computer and the printer. The options for RS232 and RS422 are
	600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 baud.
Baud Rate	Note: If using RS232 and the selected baud rate is greter than 19200, data loss may occur. To
19200*
	correct this, it may be necessary to lower the baud rate or use RS422. An increase in the Buffer
	Size in K parameter from the default (1 Kbyte) may be required to improve performance.
	The factory default is 9600.
	This menu allows the length of the serial data word to be set. The data word length can be set to
	7 or 8 bits and must match the corresponding data bits setting in the host computer.
Word Length
	The factory default is 8.
8*
	This menu allows the quantity of stop bits in the serial word to be set. either 1 or 2 stop bits may
	be selected, but the setting must match the corresponding stop bit setting in the host computer.
