Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer
EasyCoder PM4i Printer User’s Guide (Fingerprint Version) 55
Make sure the printer’s communication parameters match the
setup of the connected device or vice versa. If the setup of the
printer and the setup of the host do not match, the response from
the printer to host will be garbled.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is the transmission speed in bits per second. There
are eight options:
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600 (default)
• 19200
• 38400
• 57600
• 115200
Character Length
The character length specifies the number of bits that will define
a character.
• 7 Characters ASCII 000 to 127 decimal
• 8 Characters ASCII 000 to 255 decimal (default)
Parity
The parity decides how the firmware will check for transmission
errors. There are four options:
• None (default)
•Even
•Odd
•Mark
•Space
Note: The serial communication parameters have no effect on
parallel or EasyLAN communications, or on the IN and OUT
ports on the optional Interface Board.
