RS-232C/RS-422A Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules the computer follows in sending data to the printer. The RS-232C/RS-422A param-

changed by the FRPO (firmware reprogram) command described in the

Programming Manual

. The param-

eters and their identification codes are given below.

H1: Baud rate

The factory setting is 9600 baud.

H2: Data bits

7 or 8, factory-set to 8.

H3: Stop bits

1 or 2, factory-set to 1.

H4: Parity

The factory setting is "None" (0 on the status printout).

H5: Protocol logic

The factory setting is 0.

H6: Buffer nearly-full threshold

This is a percentage from 0 to 99. The factory setting is 90.
