Chapter 4 Host Interface Menu
Serial Submenu
The serial submenu allows you to choose the configuration of the Serial host
interface type, as shown above. Several other serial parameters are included
on this menu, as described below.
Interface Type
Allows you to select either the RS-232 (the default) or RS-422 serial port
interface.
Note The serial parameters in the printer must be set the same as the interface
in the host computer (at the other end of the data cable of the printer).
Otherwise, the printer might not work online, and data characters from the
computer might not print or might print as “garbled” text.
