3. Using XBT L100• software
- Management of Modem signals (not checked by default)
This is another flow-regulation protocol: This time, the flow is
regulated electronically (no longer via the software as in the case of
the XON/XOFF protocol). A cable incorporating 5 wires is required
(earth, send channel, receive channel, ready to send, clear to send).
Although possible, we do not recommend checking both boxes
(XON:XOFF and modem signals) at the same time. Similarly, it is not
advisable to uncheck both boxes at the same time, in order to ensure
that the printer will not become saturated.
- Number of stop bits (1 by default)
Communication parameter configured for the printer. Enter the value
supported by the printer.
- Number of data bits (8 by default)
Communication parameter configured for the printer. Enter the value
supported by the printer. Caution: If you send characters with 7 data
bits, accented characters and/or characters specific to the language
configured may print incorrectly.
- Parity (odd by default)
Communication parameter configured for the printer. Enter the value
supported by the printer. Parity is used to detect physical
communication errors (change of a 1 to 0, and vice versa, on the line).
For this reason, each character sent can be associated with a parity
bit. The role of this bit is as follows:
- No parity has been selected, this bit is not present.
- The selected parity is even, each character sent has an even
number of bits at 1. For example, to send the character 01110011,
you would actually send 011100111. A bit at 1 has been added
because there were originally 5 bits at 1 to be sent.
- The selected parity is odd, each character sent has an odd
number of bits at 1. For example, to send the character 01110011
you would actually send 011100110. A bit at 0 has been added in
order to send an odd number of bits at 1.
