Configuring the Printer

Stop bits signal the end of a transferred serial data word.

Parity

Values: None (default), Odd, Even, Mark, and Sense

This parameter must be set to match your host computer.

The host may send a parity bit with every data word. The parity bit is used for

error checking.

Data Term Ready

Values: Online & BNF, True (default), False, Offline or BF, or Online

This parameter must be set to match your host computer.

The DTR Function parameter is part of hardware flow control. This parameter

determines when the printer generates the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal to

the host computer. DTR is a status signal that the printer sends to the host to

indicate whether or not the printer is ready to receive data.

The True parameter setting causes the printer to continuously assert the

DTR signal.

The False setting causes the printer to never assert the DTR signal.

The Online & BNF (buffer not full) setting causes the printer to assert the

DTR signal only when the printer is online and its internal serial buffer is

not full.

The Offline or BF (buffer full) asserts the DTR signal when the printer is

off-line or the internal serial buffer is full.

The Online setting causes the printer to assert the DTR signal whenever

the printer is online.

Request To Send

Values: Online & BNF (default), True, False, Offline or BF, or Online

This parameter must be set to match your host computer.

The Request To Send parameter is part of hardware flow control. This parameter

determines when the printer generates the Request To Send (RTS) signal to the

host computer. RTS is a status signal that the printer sends to the host to indicate

whether or not the printer is ready to receive data.
