Setting the Word Length
Word length specifies the number of data bits the printer uses to define a character.
Select To
7 Set the word length to seven.
8 Set the word length to eight.
S etting the Stop Bits
A stop bit follows the data and parity bits to signal the end of a character.
Select To
1 Set the stop bit length to one.
2 Set the stop bit length to two.
Setting the Parity
Parity checks the validity of data entering the printer. The parity bit immediately follows
the last data bit for a character. The computer adjusts the parity bit according to the
parity so the data bits in the character, with the parity bit, form an odd or even number
when summed.
Select To
None Set the parity to none (no parity check).
Odd Set the parity to odd.
Even Set the parity to even.
Setting the Flow Control
Data flow control is the method the printer uses to tell the computer whether it is ready to
accept data.
Select To
None Set the flow control to none.
Xon/Xoff Set the flow control to XON/XOFF.
XON is 17; XOFF is 19.
DTR Set flow control to DTR (Data Terminal Ready).
This is the most common setting. Use it for PC computers (unless you
have XON/XOFF software).
CTS Set flow control to CTS (Clear to Send).
