32
transmitted. Consult the manual of the device which you are interfacing for
the required baud rate. 9600 is a very common baud rate. Slower baud rates
allow secure data transmission over longer distances. 19200 will allow very
fast data transmission, although cable lengths over 50 feet are not recommended
at this speed.
20. RS-232C Parity Bit
- Parity is used to detect errors in the data
transmission. Consult the manual of the device which you are interfacing for
the required parity selection. Even parity is quite common.
21. RS-232C Data Bits
- This parameter selects the number of data bits
transmitted with each data packet. Consult the manual of the device which you
are interfacing for the required number of data bits. Seven data bits are
quite common.
22. Ready/BUSy Flow Control
- The Ready/BUSy flow control is used with any
printer or computer which requires hardware handshaking to regulate the flow of
data. Consult the manual of the device being interfaced to determine if
hardware handshaking is required. The XC780 uses low true busy handshaking.
23. RS-232C Data Output Format
- The data output format determines the format
of the data output from the RS-232 port. For simple printing of standard
tickets select the "FMt Std" format. A description of the standard ticket
format is given in the "Printer Format" section. The "CUSt"om ticket and
"SPeC"iaL operator programmable output formats are used to totally customize
the output for printer or computer use. These formats are described in detail
in the "Operator Programmable Custom Ticket Format" and Operator Programmable
Special Output Format" sections of the XC780 Technical Manual.
24. Program Data Output Format
- The Program format parameter allows the
operator to custom program the ticket and output formats. See the "Operator
Programmable Ticket Format" and Operator Programmable Output Format" sections
of the XC780 Technical manual for details.
25. bEEPer Enable
- The beeper control turns the XC780 beeper on and off.
Turn off the beeper to conserve battery power or operate quietly.
26. Station Number
- The Station number feature is used to identify a
particular XC780 in a network situation. The Station number can be output
using the operator programmable output formats. The station number also
distinguishes one particular XC780 from another in multi-drop RS-485
communication networks. To enter the Station number:
Step 1: Select "StAtn t" and press the PRINT key. The current station
number will be displayed(0 if no station number entered).
Step 2: Enter the new Station number on the numeric keypad.
Step 3: Press the PRINT key to lock in the new station number.
