The PC PARALLEL menu configures the electrical signals to operate as a PC
Parallel printer.
Data Bit 8
The DATA BIT 8 parameter allows access to the extended ASCII character
set. This parameter is enabled by default. When this parameter is disabled,
the printer interprets bit 8 of each incoming data character as a zero,
regardless of its actual setting.
The extended ASCII character set is shown in the 6400 ASCII Programmer’s
Reference Manual.
