Serial Communication
If a serial port will be used for printing to the printer, a custom null-modem serial cable
from the manufacturer is required. Refer to the accessories section listed in Chapter 10
“Consumables” or the Printer Product Guide for ordering information.
The default serial communications settings are: 9600, N, 8, 1.
Parallel Communication
If a parallel port will be used for printing to the printer, a custom uni-directional cable
from the manufacturer is required. Refer to the accessories section listed in Chapter 10
“Consumables” or the Printer Product Guide for ordering information.
When printing in parallel the port must be set up as an LPT port, not an ECP port. If the
port is configured as ECP, printing may be inconsistent.
