Baud Rate

The bit rate of the printer can be set to 19200, 9600, 4800,

 

 

2400, 1200, 600, or 300 bits per second. The same bit rate is

 

 

for send and receive.

SSD Signal

The serial port SSD signal can be configured to provide flow

 

 

control. If SSD is active, it will toggle to false when the buffer

 

 

is full. Note: SSD flow control is only available on the optional

 

 

25-pin serial interface.

 

 

Not used

Active

 

 

DTR/RTS

The serial port DTR and/or RTS signal can be configured to

 

Signal

provide flow control. If DTR is configured as the flow control

 

 

signal, it will toggle to false when the buffer is full, RTS will

 

 

not.

CTS Signal

If active, a false CTS will prevent the printer from sending any

 

 

data to the host.

DSR Signal

If active, a false DSR signal will prevent the printer from

 

 

accepting any data.

Active

 

 

Off-line

The printer can be set to active (normal operation) or buffer

 

 

full only mode. In active mode, the printer goes off-line when

 

 

it runs out of paper. In buffer full only mode, the printer only

 

 

goes off-line if a fault is detected, and the buffer full operates

 

 

normally.

Microsoft

This option allows Windows to query the printer as to its

 

Windows

identity. The printer supports this in parallel and serial mode.

 

Plug and Play

This option presets several of the link modes.
