In using the various GRAPHICS densities above, the user should be aware that not all the combi-
nations or parameters work, especially with the slower printers (100 CPS or less). For example, a
combination of PRTYPE 2, FSPEED 4, GP.APHICS I and ASPECT 4 would require the printer to print
a pattern of 8 dots by 960 every 3 seconds which would mean trouble for a 100 CPS printer. On
the other hand, a combination of PRTYPE 2, FSPEED 2, GRAPHICS 0 and ASPECT 2 would work, as
it results in a pattern of dots 8 by 480 every 12 seconds. We know the following combinations of
dot densities and FSPEED cause trouble.
FSPEED, 8" width (narrow) FSPEED 13" width (wide)

HBaud "n" Default: 1200 bauds
Mode: Packet Host: HB
Parameters: "n" - values specifying the data rate in bauds from the PK-232 to the radio.
HBAUD sets the radio ("on-air") baud rate only in the Packet operating mode. HBAUD has no rela-
tionship to your computer terminal program's baud rate. Available HDLC packet data rates "n" in-
clude 45, 50, 57, 75, 100, 110, 150, 200, 300, 400, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600 bauds. Inter-
nal modems are provided for 45 - 1200 bauds. At higher data rates, an external modem must be
used.
