3.7 PRINTER
It allows configuring the printer.

Communication
It defines the port to be used to send data from the terminal to the printer. The RS232
port indicates the electrical port, while IrDA indicates the optical port. The only
communication speed allowed for both ports is 38400 baud.
IBM AS400 Printer
It defines the parameters for the IBM AS400 printer. Unlikely the VT emulation, in
connection with an AS400 Host there is no protocol standard command to start the
printing process and it requires defining a byte for this purpose. The screen position
of the byte can be defined through the Printer Start Row (from 1 to 25) and Printer
Start Column (from 1 to 80) parameters, while its ASCII value has to be inserted in
the Flag Byte edit box (0 = disable IBM AS400 Printer).
Baud Rate
It sets the baud rate to communicate with the printer through the RS232 interface.
Parity
It indicates the presence of a control bit in the communication protocol frame.
Data Bits
It indicates the number of bits composing the data packet of the communication
protocol frame.
