Understanding the printer menus 170 Use Robust XON On Off Baud 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 138200 172800 230400 345600 Data Bits 7 8 Parity Even Odd None Ignore Honor DSR On Off To Determine whether the printer communicates availability to the computer. Notes: • Off is the factory default setting. • This menu item applies only to the serial port if Serial Protocol is set to XON/XOFF. Specify the rate at which data can be received through the serial port. Notes: • 9600 is the factory default setting. • 138200, 172800, 230400, and 345600 baud rates are only displayed in the Standard Serial menu. These settings do not appear in the Serial Option 1, Serial Option 2, or Serial Option 3 menus. Specify the number of data bits sent in each transmission frame. Note: 8 is the factory default setting. Set the parity for serial input and output data frames. Note: None is the factory default setting. Determine whether the printer uses the DSR Signal. Notes: • Off is the factory default setting. • DSR is a handshaking signal used by most serial cables. The serial port uses DSR to distinguish data sent by the computer from data created by electrical noise in the serial cable. The electrical noise can cause stray characters to print. Set this to On to prevent stray characters from printing.
