5.3.2 Setting Other Printer Features
The PA/4000 can accept 7 or 8 bit data, while ignoring parity. It also requires
at least 1 stop bit. This configuration assures the greatest compatibility with
most serial devices, even if the data format arrangement of the host cannot be
modified. Set these features manually unless you have Diagraph’s
Performance Series for Windows
TM software (these settings can be set from
inside the software).
