40 Chapter 3, Cutter Settings and Special Functions
COMMUNICATION SETTINGS
For your cutter to communicate with your host computer, the
communication settings on both machines must match exactly. In the
Setup sheet, they can be found in lines 8 to 16:
8 Communication: Default 1 Default 2 Default 3 Default 4 Default 5 User Def
9 Baudrate: 1200 2400 4800 9600
19200 bps
10 Data Bits: 7 bits 8 bits
11 Parity: None Odd Even
12 Stop Bits: 1 bit 2 bits
13 Handshake: Off Xon ACK
14 DTR Control: Off On
15 CTS Control: Off On
16 RTS Pin: On Off RTS
In the factory, several commonly used sets for items 9 through 16 have
been preinstalled. (See below.) Refer to your software manual to
determine if you can use the default setting (in which case you don't have
to make any changes), use one of the other preinstalled sets, or need to
make changes to some of the items in lines 9 through 16.
Menu selection options 9 to16 are only available if the parameter User Defined
is selected in line 8. If you use one of the default settings, all other
communication parameters are automatically set.
