Chapter 7 — Commands
ESim for the PC4 and PF8 Printer Programmer’s Reference Manual 123
Remarks: After receiving this command, the printer automatically resets its
communication on the serial RS-232 communication port.
There are no such parameters for the USB port.
By default, the printer is set for 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits,
1 stop bit. XON/XOFF handshaking is always used. The printer
sends XOFF when an error occurs. RTS/CTS is not supported.
If the current communication setup is not known, it can be
checked by printing a test label, see “Autosensing Mode” on
page 3 for more information on how to print a test label.
Example:
In this example, we are setting a 19,200 baud rate, odd parity, 7
data bits, and 1 stop bit.
