System Considerations
Interfaces
The method of interfacing this printer to a data source depends on the communication options installed in the printer. The standard interfaces are an
Data Specifications
When communicating via an asynchronous serial data port (refer to Figure 11), the baud rate, number of data and stop bits, parity, and handshaking are user selectable (default settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF). Parity only applies to data transmitted by the printer since the parity of received data is ignored.
