2-16 Packet Reference Manual
Defining the Communication Settings Packet
Use the communication settings packet (F) to set the baud rate, word length, stop bits, parity,
and flow control for serial communications.
Changing the communication settings takes approximately two seconds. Communications sent
during this interval will be lost. Make sure the host communication values match the values on
the printer and the host is capable of communicating at the selected printer speed.
Do not add any characters, such as a carriage return/line feed, in the communication settings
packet or communications errors may occur.
