) allows the printer to tell the computer when to
send information. Select
DTR/DSR
if your computer requires hardware
flow control (most personal computers do). Select
XON/XOFF
if your
computer requires software flow control (for example, if you are using a
UNIX workstation).
BAUD RATE
9600*
300 to 57600
The baud rate tells the printer how fast information will be transferred
from the computer to the printer.
ROBUST XON
ON*
OFF
Appears only when
PACING
is set to
XON/XOFF
. If it is set to
ON
, the printer
sends an XON when the printer is on line and when sufficient buffer
space has become available.
If it is set to
OFF
, the printer sends one
XON when it can accept more data or when it is on line.
DTR POLARITY
HI*
LO
Determines whether pin #8 is high or low when the printer is ready.
When
it is set to
HI
, pin #8 is high when the printer is ready.
When it is set to
LO
,
