9. Close the interface cover. 10. Plug the power cord into your printer and an electrical outlet. Using a serial interface card To use a serial interface card (C82305✽ or C82306✽), see the sections below to set the correct baud rate, handshake timing, and error handling. For all other data transfer conventions, such as word structure and communications protocol, see your interface card manual. Selecting a baud rate You can select from the following baud rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 bps (bits per second). To set the baud rate, see the bit-rate selection table in your interface card manual. Handshake timing When the unused area for data in the input buffer drops to 256 bytes, the printer outputs an X-OFF code or sets the DTR flag to 1 (MARK) to indicate that it cannot receive data. When the unused area increases to 512 bytes, the printer outputs an X-ON code or sets the DTR flag to 0 (SPACE) to indicate that it is ready to receive data. Error handling When the printer detects a parity error, it prints an asterisk (✽). The printer ignores all other errors, including framing and overrun errors. 158 Options and Consumables

Close the interface cover.
10.
Plug the power cord into your printer and an electrical
outlet.
Using a serial interface card
To use a serial interface card (C82305
or C82306
), see the
sections below to set the correct baud rate, handshake timing,
and error handling. For all other data transfer conventions, such
as word structure and communications protocol, see your
interface card manual.
Selecting a baud rate
You can select from the following baud rates: 300, 600, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 bps (bits per second). To set the baud
rate, see the bit-rate selection table in your interface card
manual.
Handshake timing
When the unused area for data in the input buffer drops to 256
bytes, the printer outputs an X-OFF code or sets the DTR flag to
1 (MARK) to indicate that it cannot receive data. When the
unused area increases to 512 bytes, the printer outputs an X-ON
code or sets the DTR flag to 0 (SPACE) to indicate that it is ready
to receive data.
Error handling
When the printer detects a parity error, it prints an asterisk (
).
The printer ignores all other errors, including framing and
overrun errors.
