2.9 Setting an Operating Environment

2.9.1Parameter Setting (Cont.)

NOTES:

1.When using the hardware flow control, the control signals and data must be in pairs between the

printer and the PC.

Printer		Host
TD	→	RD
RD	←-	TD
RTS	→	CTS
CTS	←-	RTS
DSR	→	DTR
DTR	←-	DSR

Refer to the RS-232C connector’s pin layout in APPENDIX 2. Check if the printer and the PC is properly connectable with your cable

2.Be careful that there are two types of RS-232C cable; straight cable and cross cable.

Use a straight cable for this printer.

NOTE:

The following is the detailed descriptions for each transmission control code.

1)XON/XOFF AUTO

At the power on time, the printer outputs XON. At the power off time, the printer outputs XOFF.

2)XON+READY AUTO

At the power on time, the printer outputs XON. At the power off time, the printer outputs XOFF.

3)READY/BUSY

At the power on time, the DTR signal output from the printer turns to High level (READY). At the power off time, the printer does

(5) Stop Bit Length Selection

This parameter is to choose a stop bit length of the RS-232C interface. Be sure to match a setting with a host computer. When “<2>PARAMETER SET” appears, press the [PAUSE] key until the following display appears.

STOP BIT 1bit

Use the [FEED] or [RESTART] key to select a desired option.

	STOP BIT 1bit
[RESTART]

	STOP BIT 2bits
[FEED]

After selecting a stop bit length, press the [PAUSE] key.

(6) Parity Selection

This parameter is to choose the parity of the RS-232C interface.

When “<2>PARAMETER SET” appears, press the [PAUSE] key until the following display appears.

PARITY NONE

Use the [FEED] or [RESTART] key to select a desired option.

PARITY EVEN

[RESTART]

PARITY ODD

[FEED]

PARITY NONE

After selecting the parity, press the [PAUSE] key.

(7) Flow Control Code Selection

This parameter is to choose a flow control code of the RS-232C interface. When “<2>PARAMETER SET” appears, press the [PAUSE] key until the following display appears.

XON+READY AUTO

Use the [FEED] or [RESTART] key to select a desired option.
