6 Remote Interface
Setup
This chapter describes how to configure the remote interface settings in
order to prepare the printer for remote communications via the Linx
Remote Communications Interface.
6.1 About the Linx Remote
Communications Interface
The Linx Remote Communications Interface is a method of controlling
printer functions from a remote host (for example, a PC or other device)
via the serial port, rather than using the local keyboard and printer Display.
The printer acts as a ‘slave’ that receives commands from the remote host
and sends back status information and data as requested.
The remote interface is designed to allow the majority of functions to be
controlled from a remote host. It uses a point-to-point, serial data transfer
protocol. The hardware connection to Linx printers is based on the RS232
standard.
The format of the commands and data is described in the Linx Remote
Communications Interface Reference Manual (FA76014), together with
examples and information on hardware connections and printer setup.
