External device settings and communication methods
The external device settings and data communication method differ from one device to another. For details on the settings and
operations, refer to the manuals accompanying the selected device, its operating system (DOS) and communications program
or make inquiries with the manufacturer of the device connected.
1) Ensure that the communication protocol matches the external device settings
This unit’s communication protocol can be changed using the set-up menu RS-232C PROTOCOL item.
[Default settings (factory settings): 9600 bps baud rate, 8-bit data length, 1-bit stop bit, and odd parity]
The external device settings are changed using the switches and MODE and SPEED commands in the RS-232C protocol
setting program.
[Setting example 1] MODE COM1: BAUD = 9600, PARITY = 0, DATA = 8, STOP = 1
[Setting example 2] SPEED RS232C-0 9600 BITS-8 PARITY-ODD STOP-1 NONE
If the changes cannot be made for the external device, ensure that settings of this unit correspond with those of the external
device.
Check that EDL is set for the set-up menu item No.202 (OPTION MODE).
Set set-up item No.208 (EDL FORMAT) to the input/output format.
