Entering the control character CTRL-P once again switches off print-
ing of the screen data on the printer.
Printing under DOS with a serial interface
(RS-232C)
When printing under DOS, make sure only the transmission proto-
col Ready/Busy (hardware handshake) is supported. Printing with
the transmission protocol X-ON/X-OFF (software handshake) is
only possible with software for remote data transfer such as Telix,
ProCom or MS-Windows Terminal.
Remote data transfer programs of this kind are good for testing in-
terfaces because it is easy to change or adjust the parameters.
Note also the following points:
• The settings for the serial interface in the menu of the printer
must agree with the settings for the serial interface in the PC.
• The interface cable must be wired in accordance with the menu
options.
Example:
The serial interface options in the printer are set at the factory as
follows:
Parity None
Serial data 8 bits
Protocol Ready / Busy
Diagnostic Test No
Busy Line SSD-
Baud Rate 9.600 bps
DSR Signal Valid
DTR Signal Ready on Power up
Busy Time 200 ms
