This switch is used to set the data format and baud rate when the serial interface is used.
For details refer to the "Dip Switch Setting Table" in Appendix A.
2.2.3 COECTIO WITH COMPUTERS
There are two methods for establishing a connection with the computer:
•
Parallel connection (Centronics)
•
Serial connection (RS-232C)
ote:
Serial connection is not available if the High Speed Raster Option is installed.
The system is set for a parallel connection at the factory. This will work well with the majority
of computers and software packages.
To change to a serial interface connection refer to the "Dip Switch Setting Table" in Appendix A
and set the DIP switch settings to match the settings required by the software being used.
2.2.4 RS-232 SERIAL CABLE COFIGURATIO
To use the serial connection on the laser system, the proper serial cable must be used. The
diagram below describes the serial cable configuration required.
