In addition to port assignment, you may program the following
features to meet the need of your application: the individual serial port
configuration (baud rate, word size, stop bits, parity, and XON/XOFF),
the Port Logical Names, the Input Inactivity Timeout, the Printer
Select Code, the Printer Select Mode, the Form Feed Mode, and the
Header Page Message. Programming of these features is easily
accomplished via the menu-driven configuration mode, and all
changes are saved in non-volatile memory.
NOTE:
Users of IBM compatible computers may utilize the BayTech
Print Master Support Software Diskette supplied with the unit. Refer
to Section 4.2 for instructions.
A typical application using Print Master would allow various computers
(e.g., PCs, main frames, mini computers, etc.) to share printers and/or
plotters. For example, Figure 1 below shows seven PCs sharing a
single HP LaserJet IIISi printer. This application would allow all the
PCs to send print jobs to the printer simultaneously.
