STX-ETX Start and End of Text recognition off/on
This function allows the operator to turn on or off the recognition of
STX and ETX as the beginning and end marker for the address block.
Offset Edge Offset edge of page by 0 – 227 mm
This function shifts the measured edge of the paper. To the user, it will
look as if the left margin was increased.
This option is required for
– Windows programs in which the left edge cannot be changed
(or this is not desired).
– Printing of large envelopes with Windows serial print, where the
desired print position cannot be set on the PC.
Example: Programs under Windows NT for which no RENA
DA608 drivers are available.

Serial Interface
Handshake
Handshaking is a signal exchange between computer and printer. It is
de
signed to protect the buffer in the printer memory from overflowing
or losing data.
The type of handshaking depends on your computer system or
terminal.The DA608 printer supports three ways of sending serial data.
Software handshaking
XON/XOFF (Transmission ON/Transmission OFF)
is used by most terminals.
Hardware handshaking
DTR (Data Terminal Ready)
is used by PCs.
Both types of handshaking
Baud rate
For the computer and printer to intercommunicate, they must send and
receive data
at the same clock rate or baud rate. The DA608 printer
can be set to four different rates (see preceding table).
