Description

 

 

 

DTR Polarity

High*

Serial port’s DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal sent

 

Low

from the printer to notify the host computer that it is

 

 

ready to receive data.

 

 

High is standard for most computers; it uses true logic

 

 

(+5 V).

 

 

Low is typically used on nonstandard equipment; it

 

 

uses inverted logic (0 V).

 

 

 

Data Bits

7

Number of data bits in a character.

 

8*

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Data Bits setting must match the

 

 

host computer data bits setting.

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parity

None*

How the parity bit is used in error checking.

 

Even

The parity bit may be checked against the received

 

Odd

 

character by means of an Even or Odd error checking

 

 

 

 

mechanism.

 

 

 

 

 

The Parity setting must match the host

 

 

computer parity setting.

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stop Bits

2

Number of stop bits in each character. (Stop bits

 

1.5

signal the end of a character.)

 

1*

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Stop Bits setting must match the

 

 

host computer stop bits setting.

 

 

Note
