Configuring the printer's serial port for a PC
Use the PostScript command file DEVPARAM.PS (also located on the Printers
Utilities diskette) to modify the printer’s serial port settings.
The following example sets flow control to Xon/Xoff, parity to none, data bits to 8,
stop bits to 2 and the baud rate to 9600. In the example below, the changes are
persistent across print jobs and across power cycles; they remain in effect until
specifically changed again.
CTRL-D

CTRL-D
Note
CTRL-D is the ASCII End-Of-Text (EOT) character.
When you change the settings for the serial port, the baud rate DIP Switch 7 on
the printer's back panel must be down before the changes will take effect.
