YCommand - Serial Port Setup

Description Use this command to establish the serial port communication parameters.

Syntax Yp1,p2,p3,p4

Parameters p1 = Baud rate

		p1		Description
		38		38,400 baud (38K)
		19		19,200 baud
		96		9,600 baud
		48		4,800 baud
		24		2,400 baud
		12		1,200 baud

p2	= Parity.
		Values: O = Odd parity
				E = Even parity
				N = No parity
p3	= # Data bits.
		Values: 7 = Seven data bits
				8 = Eight data bits
p4	= # Stop bits.
		Values:		1 = One stop bit

2 = Two stop bits.

After receiving this command, the printer will automatically reset enabling the new rate.

To send commands and data to the printer, the host’s serial port parameters must match the printer’s serial port parameters. Verify the printer’s configuration set- tings with the AutoSense/Dump Mode Printout, see the printer’s user’s manual for details.

The printer’s default serial port parameters are:

9600 baud, No Parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit

Change the printer’s serial port parameters with the Y command after communication has been estab- lished with the host. The host parameters must then be changed to resume communication.

Example: Y19,O,7,1	:sets 19,200 baud, odd parity,
	:7 data bits and 1 stop bit.
