Software Settings

This section describes how to set up the software of your computer for print- ing over a serial interface connection. Setups are described for MS-DOS.

Setting up a serial connection on an MS-DOS computer

Remember that the settings you make on your computer must match those you have made using the printer’s Electronic DIP switches.

•Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that it includes the following line: MODE LPT1:=COMn

This line tells the computer to send printer output to the COMn serial port. The letter n stands for the number 1, 2, etc. You should input COM1, COM2, etc. to identify the serial port to which the serial cable from the serial interface unit is connected.

•Also add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

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 re-send data whenever an error occurs. If you need further information about the MODE command, see your MS-DOS User’s Guide.
