Parity

There are three possible parity settings: Even, Odd, None.

`When Even parity is specified, the interface expects to receive data frames with even parity and will transmit data with even parity.

`When Odd parity is specified, the interface expects to receive data frames with odd parity and will transmit data with odd parity.

`Parity will be checked whenever “Even” of “Odd” parity is selected. If a parity error is detected, “PARITY ERROR” message will be dis- played on the LCD. Printer will continue to receive data.

`When “No” parity is specified, the interface does not except data frames to include a parity bit, and the interface transmits data with- out parity bits.
