b) Serial connection<br />

With the printer in position and the serial cable connected:<br />

1) select printer parameters<br />

2) set communication parameters<br />

• External connection: enable COM<br />

• Serial parameters: set transmission speed of serial line. Recommended: 115200 (n,8,1,p) baud<br />

• Wait/Ready protocol: enable<br />

Wait/Ready protocol<br />

When the printer starts the print phase, send the character “W” to the serial line; at the end of the<br />

application cycle, send character "R". This occurs both in single print-cycle mode and in the double-print<br />

cycle.<br />

In the caseof the double cycle, the character “W” is senttothe startof the first cycle and the character<br />

“R” is sent to the end of the second application cycle. If the printer goes into fault status during the cycle,<br />

it sends the character “R” to the serial line. At this point it is possible to request (^?) status and check<br />

machine status.<br />

This W/R protocol management is also valid if the bar checker is enabled. The characters "W" and "R" are<br />

sent online only if the signals CTS and DSR are active. If these signals are missing, the characters are not<br />

sent.<br />
