Chapter 6 Setting Up the Printer
Setup Parameters
Serial Communication
• Baud Rate
• Data Bits
• Parity
• Stop Bits
• Protocol The serial communication parameters control the communication
between the printer and the connected computer or other devices on
the serial port. The serial communication parameters have no effect
on parallel communication.
Make sure the printer’s communication parameters match the setup
of the connected device or vice versa. If not, the response from the
printer to the host will be garbled.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is the transmission speed in bits per second. There
are 8 options:
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600 (default)
• 19200
• 38400
• 57600
• 115200
Data Bits
This parameter specifies the number of bits that will define a
character.
• 7 Characters ASCII 000 to 127 decimal
• 8 Characters ASCII 000 to 255 decimal (default)
Parity
The parity decides how the fi rmware will check for transmission
errors. There are four options:
• None (default)
• Even
• Odd
• Space
Stop Bits
The number of stop bits specifi es how many bits will defi ne the end
of a character. There are two options:
• 1 (default)
• 2
