the Select key:
The 5900 and 7900 printers allow data transmission at baud rates of 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 baud.

and press the Select key to display the available settings. The three options are:
• None—there is no control of the flow of data between the printer and the
remote host.
• Software—the special characters ‘Xon’ and ‘Xoff’ control the flow of data
between the printer and the remote host. An escape character identifies the
special characters in the data stream.
• Hardware—the flow of data is controlled by hardware hand shakes between
the printer and remote host.

page. Press the Exit key to return to the Communications page.
