Data Bits
This sub-menu is used to configure the number of data bits per
character setting for the serial setup for RS232 and RS422 serial
type. There are two settings under the Data Bits option, 7 Bits or 8
Bits. Set the data bits equal to that of the host computer.
Use the following procedures to enable/disable a data bits setting:
1.
While in the
Serial Setup
menu, press the
◄
(left) or
►
(right)
menu browse pushbutton until
Data Bits
is displayed in the lower
right corner of the display menu.
2.
Press the
▼
(down) menu browse pushbutton.
Data Bits
will be
displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD.
3.
Press the
◄
(left) or
►
(right) menu browse pushbutton until the
desired selection is displayed in the lower right corner of the LCD.
Press the
Select
pushbutton to enable or disable an option. The
<
symbol will now immediately follow the enabled option.
Parity
This sub-menu is used to configure a parity setting for the serial
setup. Parity is a serial port communication parameter used to
identify a data bit position in each serial data character for error
detection.
Option
Meaning if Enabled
No Parity Bit
The serial character does not have this bit and
parity checking is disabled.
Ignore
The character does contain the parity bit, but it is
ignored by the printer with no error detection being
made. The bit may e a logical one or zero.
Even
The parity bit set by the host is such that there is
an even number of logical “ones” in the character.
The printer checks for an even number of “ones”
and flags a parity error if there is an odd number of
“ones” constituting the data bits including the
parity bit.
Odd
The parity bit is set by the host such that there is
an odd number of logical “ones” in the character.
The printer checks for an odd number of “ones” and
flags a parity error if there is an odd number of
“ones” constituting the data bits including the
parity bit.
Space
The parity bit set by the host to a logical zero bit.
The printer checks the parity bit for zero and flags a
parity error if it is a logical one.
Mark
The parity bit set by the host to a logical one bit.
The printer checks the parity bit of one and flags a
parity error if it is a logical zero.
Use the following procedures to enable/disable a parity setting:
1.
While in the
Serial Setup
menu, press the
◄
(left) or
►
(right)
menu browse pushbutton until
Parity
is displayed in the lower
