4.3.2 Communications Parameters
Under the Interface Control category in the function mode, there are five
subcategories:
1.
Interface type — There is one interface type available (serial).
2.
Interface A straps — There are 32 software straps that you can define
as in or out. The straps and the parameters they enable/inhibit are
listed in Table 4-2. The LG31 printer is shipped with four interface
A straps enabled.
When you enter the interface strap A subcategory, the strap number
is displayed in the left two digits (1-32) of the display panel. The
right digit indicates whether the strap is in (i) or out (o). These
straps control the RS-232-C signals.
3.
Interface B straps — There are 32 software straps that you can define
as in or out. The straps and the parameters they enable/inhibit are
listed in Table 4-2.
When you enter the interface strap B subcategory, the strap number
is displayed in the left two digits (33-64) of the display. The right
digit indicates whether the strap is in (i) or out (o). These straps
control the response of the LG31 to the host data.
4.
Speed (baud rate) — There are nine baud rates to select from.
5.
Parity — There are four parity options.
To select the interface control category of parameters (see Figure 4-2):
1.
Place the printer off-line ([ O F L] is displayed). If the printer is
on-line ([ O n L] is displayed), press the ON LINE key.
2.
Press the PRG key ([ P r o] is displayed). The LG31 printer prints
the configuration menu.
3.
Press key (4).
The LG31 printer will print the interface control
options available (see Figure 4-3).
4.
To change one of the interface straps, press key (2). The printer will
list the options available (see Figure 4-3). The interface straps and
their present condition are listed in the configuration menu.
— Press the (3) key until the number of the desired strap shows in
the first two digits of the display.
