HOST INTERFACE

Baud Rate
Sets the baud rate of the serial interface in the printer. Baud rate is
the speed at which serial data is transferred between the host
computer and the printer. The choices for the RS-232 and RS-422
interfaces are 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600,
and 115200 Baud. The default is 9600 Baud.
NOTE: If you select a baud rate that is greater than 19200, you
may need to use RS-422 or select a lower baud rate to
prevent data loss. You also may need to increase the
Buffer Size in K parameter from the default (1 Kbyte) to
improve performance.
Word Length
Sets the length of the serial data word. The length of the data word
can be set to 7 or 8 bits, and must match the corresponding data
bits setting in the host computer.
Stop Bits 1
Sets the number of stop bits in the serial data word. Either one or
two stop bits can be selected. The setting must match the
corresponding stop bit setting in the host computer.
Parity
Set for odd parity, even parity, mark, sense, or no parity. The setting
must match the corresponding parity setting in the host computer.
