2 Installing the Printer and Drivers
Configuring the printer's serial port for a PC
Use the PostScript command file DEVPARAM.PS (also located on the Utilities diskette)
to modify the printer’s serial port settings.
To modify DEVPARAM.PS you should be familiar with the PostScript setdevparams
command. This file lets you configure the printer's serial port. The following example
sets flow control to Xon/Xoff, parity to none, data bits to 8, stop bits to 2 and the baud
rate to 9600. In the example below, the changes are persistent across print jobs and
across power cycles; they remain in effect until specifically changed again.
Note CTRL-D is the ASCII End-Of-Text (EOT) character.
