Configuring a printer’s serial port
If your printer has the optional serial port installed, you can configure the 
port using the DEVPARAM.PS file or by using front panel selections.  Refer 
to your Phaser 340 Color Printer User Manual for information on configuring a 
serial port from the front panel.
Note
To modify the DEVPARAM.PS file, you should be familiar with 
the PostScript setdevparams command.  You should also know 
how to use PostScript dictionaries and key value pairs.
You should edit the DEVPARAM.PS file and send it to the printer before 
using other files to change the printer’s performance.   
The following example sets these parameters:
Flow control to Xon/Xoff
Parity to none
Data bits to 8
Stop bits to 2
Baud rate to 9600
In this example, the changes are persistent across jobs and across printer 
power cycles; they remain in effect until you change them again.
