To Configure the RS-232 Serial Port for Printing
Configuring the RS-232 serial port for printing requires that you:
• set the hardware pacing in the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) menu item,
• set the baud rate in the BAUD menu item,
• set the parity type in the PARITY menu item, and
• set the software pacing in the SW PACE menu item.
Setting the Hardware Pacing
1 Press and hold Recall (Utility) key, then cycle POWER key.
2 Press Recall (Utility) key until DTR: is displayed.
3 Press any one of the arrow keys until the desired hardware pacing is displayed.
NOTE • Choose HW PACE to use the DTR line for pacing. (CAUTION: You should
only choose this option if your printer and cable support DTR
handshaking.)
• Choose HIGH to disable hardware pacing.
The Counter’s talk-only RS-232 port is now set to be the driver for a RS-232 serial
printer. The hardware pacing choice is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
