Automatic configuration
In the delivery status the SER2USB cable is delivered with an automatic baud
rate recognition. I.e. for the first print job, the SER2USB cable tries to
automatically determine the correct serial settings. The following procedure is
recommended:
1.) Connect the SER2USB cable to the printer (USB).
2.) Connect the SER2USB cable to the serial terminal.
3.) Plug in the power supply unit.
4.) Switch on the printer.
5.) Send a print job of at least 1000 characters.
Note
:
No data are sent to the printer. The first connected print job is only
used to determine the automatic configuration. When the baud rate
was determined, it will be saved and a status page is printed, which
includes all information regarding your printer as well as the current
serial settings of the SER2USB cable.
As soon as data are printed, an automatic configuration is no longer
available.
Possible problems
:
1.) If
no
status page is printed or if the printer output is wrong, configure the
cable using the
“Manual configuration”
.
2.) If the status page is printed
correctly
, but the print outputs of your data are
wrong
, configure the cable using the
“Manual configuration”
or check if
the connected printer can process the print data with the preset printer
emulation. Example: You print PostScript data and the HPLJ emulation
was preset on the printer.
