PQ-8P, PQ-8S
COMMAND 50: SHARING PORT
TIMEOUT
Selects the sharing port timeout
value. This is the time interval before
the interface automatically switches
from the parallel or serial sharing
port to check for data from the host.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
4 to 60 4 to 60 seconds
*8 Default
Example: &%Z50,10 sets the time
interval to 10 seconds.
COMMAND 56: PARALLEL PORT
INITIALIZATION STRING
Allows the user to define a parallel-
port initialization string of up to 25
ASCII bytes, which is stored in the
memory of the interface card. The
string is sent to initialize the printer
for parallel-port printing after host
printing has occurred. To aid in
readability, a single space is allowed
between hex bytes. Refer to Section
5.3 for more information.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
1(up to 25 Defines the init
hex bytes) string
1() Deletes init string
Example: &%Z56,1() deletes the
hex strings previously defined as the
parallel-port initialization string.
COMMAND 58: SERIAL PORT
INITIALIZATION STRING
Allows the user to define a serial-port
initialization string of up to 25 ASCII
bytes, which is stored in the memory
of the PQ-8 card. The string is sent
to initialize the printer for serial-port
printing after host printing has
occurred. To aid in readability, a
single space is allowed between hex
bytes. Refer to Section 5.3 for more
information.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
1(up to 25 Defines the init
hex bytes) string
1() Deletes init string
Example: &%Z58,1() deletes the
hex strings previously defined as the
serial port initialization string.
COMMAND 76: SERIAL-IN BAUD
RATE
Selects the Baud Rate for data
received at the serial-in port. A
new setting will not be effective
immediately. To activate the new
setting, cycle power on the PQ-8.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
0 38,400 baud
1 19,200 baud
*2 9,600 baud
3 4,800 baud
4 2,400 baud
5 1,200 baud
6 600 baud
7 300 baud
Example: &%Z76,0 sets the
receiving baud rate to 38,400
*Factory-default setting
