Avery Dennison Monarch Tabletop Printer 1 - Setting the Parity; Setting the Flow Control; Resetting to Default Values

Setting Communications 3-3
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).
Resetting to Default Values
Use this setting to reset the printer’s communication values to the defaults listed at the
beginning of this chapter.
Select To
No Do not reset the serial communication values to their defaults.
Yes Reset the serial communication values to their defaults.
