Printer User Manual

Defining the Communication Settings Packet
Use the communication settings packet (F) to set the baud rate,
word length, stop bits, parity, and flow control for serial
communications. To set parallel communications, see "Using
Parallel Communications."
Changing the communication settings takes approximately two
seconds. Communications sent during this interval will be lost.
Make sure the host communication values match the values on
the printer and the host is capable of communicating at the speed
you select for the printer.
Do not add any characters, such as a
carriage return/line feed, in your
communication settings packet or
communications errors may occur.
