Interfaces
Serial interface (option)
B-13
Data rates
The interface supports the following data rates.
 4800 bps
9600 bps
19200 bps
38400 bps
Supported protocols
This interface will also support the following:
7 or 8 Data Bits
Even, Odd, None Parity
1 or 2 Stop Bit(s) 
Ready/Busy or XON/XOFF handshaking
Data Transfer
A data frame consists of a start bit, seven or eight data bits, 0 or 1 parity bit(s) and 1 or 
2 stop bit(s). With these combinations, 9, 10, 11 and 12 bit frames are available:
Parity
There are three possible parity settings: Even, Odd, None.
`
When Even parity is specified, the interface expects to receive data frames with even 
parity and will transmit data with even parity.
`
When Odd parity is specified, the interface expects to receive data frames with odd 
parity and will transmit data with odd parity.
`
Parity will be checked whenever Even of Odd parity is selected. If a parity error is de-
tected, PARITY ERROR message will be displayed on the LCD. Printer will continue 
to receive data.
`
When None parity is specified, the interface does not accept data frames to include a 
parity bit, and the interface transmits data without parity bits.
