Baud
A unit of speed that measures the rate at which
information is transferred. Baud rate is the reciprocal of
the length in seconds of the shortest pulse used to
carry data. For example, a system in which the shortest
pulse is 1/1200 second operates at 1200 baud. On RS-
232 serial lines, the baud rate equals the data flow rate
in bits per second (bps). To communicate properly, a
printer must be configured to operate at the same baud
rate as its host computer.
