4.17 Interface Settings
If the RS-232C serial interface is used, the interface conditions must be set to ensure that the data-transfer
rate (baud rate), parity, data length and handshake settings for the cutting plotter match those set in the
application software or computer operating system. This section describes the interface conditions for the
cutting plotter. For details on how to set the conditions for your application or computer operation system,
refer to the manual provided with the application or operating system.

Press the (ENTER) key to display the interface-condition setting menu.
The current settings are displayed (from left): transfer rate (baud rate), parity, data
length, and handshaking mode.
The baud rate can be set to “19200,” “9600,” “4800,” “2400,” “1200,” “600,” or
“300.”
The parity can be set to “N” (None), “E” (Even parity), or “O” (Odd parity).
The data length can be set to 7 or 8 bits.
The handshaking mode can be set to “H” (hard-wired handshaking) or “X” (Xon/
Xoff handshaking). “E” (ENQ/ACK handshaking) can also be selected when the
command mode is set to HP-GL.
All of these interface conditions must be set to match the corresponding settings in
the application software and the computer operating system.
The parameter that can be changed is displayed immediately to the right of the
