MODE COMn:baud, parity, data length, stopbits, p
This line sets up the COMn port according to the parameters you input for baud, parity, data length, and stopbits. To set up COM2 for 9600 bps, no parity, data length of 8 bits and 1 stop bit, you should input the following: MODE COM2:9600,N,8,1,p
The letter “p” at the end of the line tells the computer that the printer will continually try to
