those on the PanelView 1200 terminal.
Important Although you can choose from between 7 or 8 data bits,
always choose 8, or your transfer will not be successful. The 7 data bit
option applies only if you’re configuring the port for printing.

size in the Select File menu. This lets you ensure that there is enough
available memory in the PanelView 1200 terminal to load the
application file.
