Operation
6-4.5 Printer Handshake
OPTION MENU #:89, PRINTER HAND SHAKE, allows you to select a form of flow control when the
930i sends data to the printer. This allows the printer to tell the 930i to stop sending when the printer’s
buffer is full or the printer is off-line. The factory default setting for the 930i is hand shake OFF.
If your printer misses characters sent by the 930i, especially during long printouts such as digit analysis
or E1 BERT history, select a lower baud rate or use OPTION MENU #:89, PRINTER HAND SHAKE,
to select a form of flow control.
