The choices are as follows.
• Terminal—the default for direct connect and modem terminal ports
• Printer—the default for direct connect and modem printer ports
• HP 2334/5 Multiplexer
• US Modem—for a modem port with modem behavior set to Standard DCE,
DCE High, or DTE.
• European Modem—for a modem port with modem behavior set to Standard
DCE, DCE High, or DTE.
• Data Switch
• US Modem IN OUT
• EU Modem In OUT
• Five Wires Modem.
Bits Parity Bit parity allows you to select the data length (not including start and stop bits) and
the parity you want to assign to the port. Data length is also known as number of bits
per character; these bits determine the number of received serial bits assembled to
form a character.
The possible values are:
7 bits data length with parity even
7 bits data length with parity odd
7 bits data length with parity forced to 0
7 bits data length with parity forced to 1
8 bits data length with parity none
8 bits data length with parity even
8 bits data length with parity odd
A setting of 8 bits data length with parity none is used by default.
Number of Stop Bits This setting determines the number of stop bits to be used for asynchronous
characters. Possible values are:
1 stop bit
2 stop bits
The 2 stop bits option could be required for specific device, such as a bar code
reader. The setting 1 stop bit is used by default.
