In the
Main
sheet tab you can set the parameters that are significant for
establishing communication between the printer and an external device. The
printer and the device must have the same settings of the following parameters
to communicate successfully:
Port
– it defines the name of a printer port to which an external device is
connected as a source of serial transmission signals in RS
–232 standard,
for example. There is no physical RS
–232 interface in the printer, so you
need to apply an USB
– RS232 converter in order to connect an external
device. With such a converter you can connect an external device (
e.g.
a
computer, automatic scales, a barcode reader) to a USB port. External
devices can be connected to the printer via a Bluetooth interface, which is a
source of serial transmission signals and can be chosen for this object. The
list of ports is fixed and contains Bluetooth and ports, from COM1 to COM9.
Baud rate
– it signifies a rate of transmission (a number of symbols per
second) through the port. The list to choose from contains the most typical
rates used for serial communication. If the
Port
parameter is set to
Bluetooth, the
Baud rate
setting cannot be modified.
The
Bit count
parameter defines the number of bits in every portion of the
data transferred. If the
Port
parameter is set to Bluetooth, the
Bit count
setting cannot be modified.
In addition, you can enable

) sheet
tab) in the
Main
sheet tab and create a text that will precede (
Prefix
) or follow
(
Postfix
) the data to be received from an external device.
In the
Communication
sheet tab you can set communication parameters,
which define the rules for communication between the printer and an external
device:
Sending messages format
– this parameter defines the format of data to
be transferred from the printer to a device. Two modes are available:
Normal
and
Hexadecimal
. In the normal mode, the data is transferred as
ASCII characters, whereas in the hexadecimal mode it is transferred as hex
numbers.
