PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-42 167
1: 1 line/Second 60 lines/Minute
2: 2 lines/Second 120 lines/Minute
3: 3 lines/Second 180 lines/Minute
4: 4 lines/Second 240 lines/Minute
0: 1.5 lines/Second 90 lines/Minute
You can tell the scan rate by listening to the signal. Most weather charts are transmitted at 2
lines/Second (default), or 120 lines/Minute. Some facsimile photographs and Japanese news are
sent at 60 lines/minute.
With wide-carriage printers, the maximum print densities are reduced. Here are the maximum
print densities at various scan speeds and carriage widths:
FSPEED (LPM) Standard carriage Wide carriage
0 90 183 dpi 113 dpi
1 60 275 dpi 169 dpi
2 120 138 dpi 85 dpi
3 150 92 dpi 56 dpi
4 240 69 dpi 42 dpi
FUlldup ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: FU
Parameters: ON - Full duplex mode is ENABLED.
OFF - Full duplex mode is DISABLED.
When full-duplex mode is OFF (default), the PX-232 makes use of the DCD (Data Carrier Detect)
signal from its modem to avoid collisions.
When full-duplex mode is ON the PK-232 ignores the DCD signal and acknowledges packets indi-
vidually.
Full-duplex operation is useful for full-duplex radio operation, such as through OSCAR satellites. It
should not be used unless both your station and the distant station can operate in full-duplex.
Graphics "n" Default: 1 (960 dots)
Mode: FAX Host: GR
Parameters: "n" - 0 to 6 selects the FAX horizontal graphics dot density printed on the printer
from the table below
GRAPHICS determines the horizontal print density of the parallel Printer. The GRAPHICS dot den-
sities for each PRTYPE will be given with the PRTYPE command.
Graphics dot-densities as a function of PRTYPE are shown below.
