Host TypeRS-232C Host Types
Most RS-232C hosts work fine with the default settings, however, three RS-232C hosts are
set up with their own parameter default settings. Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu or Nixdorf RS-
232C host interface sets the defaults lis ted below. T hese defa ults take precedence over
Standard RS-232 defaults. So, if you select the Fujitsu RS-232C first, and then select
the Standard RS-232 defaults, the Fujitsu defaults still take pre cedence. To return to
the factory set defaults, scan the SET ALL DEFAULTS bar code on page 5-7.
