Specifications

When your computer has queued data for transmission, the PK-232 monitors the DCD
signal from its modem. When the channel clears, the PK-232 generates a random
number between 0 and 255. If this number is less-than or equal to "PERSIST",
the PK-232 transmits all frames in its queue. If the random number is greater
than "P", the PK-232 waits .01 * SLOTTIME seconds and repeats the attempt.
PPERSIST can be used in both KISS and normal AX.25 operation.

PRCon ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: All Host: PC
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - A parallel printer is connected to the PK-232 via the special cable.
OFF - There is no parallel printer connected, or it is not currently in use.
_______________________________________________________________________________
PRCON tells the PK-232 whether or not a parallel printer is connected via the
optional "Y" facsimile cable. When PRCON is ON, the mode and status LED's are
disabled, and do not perform their proper function. Some LED's may remain lit,
and others may flash randomly. When you are through printing, disconnect the
printer, turn PRCON OFF and the status LED's will return to normal operation.

PRFax ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: FAX Host: PF
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - FAX graphics are sent to the parallel printer if PRCON is on.
OFF - FAX graphics are sent to the RS-232 serial port.
_______________________________________________________________________________
PRFAX should be ON if a parallel printer is connected to the PK-232 and in use
for printing facsimile pictures. If you wish to save the facsimile graphic data
to disk for later retrieval, simply turn PRFAX OFF and set AWLEN to 8 to allow
8-bit data to be sent to the serial port.

PROut ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: All Host: PO
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
ON - All characters are sent to the parallel printer if PRCON is also ON.
OFF - All text and data is sent to the terminal through the serial port.
_______________________________________________________________________________
This command is useful for any mode where the user wants to get a printed copy
of what is being received by the PK-232. It is especially desirable for those
using a terminal with the PK-232 who otherwise can not get hard copy of received
text. It is also handy if you wish to use your computer for another purpose,
and still monitor channel activity.
