RGT MAR is used to specify a right margin. When printing reaches the right margin on a line, the printer
performs a carriage return/line feed and continues printing on the next line.
The right margin is also used in the center and justify modes. The right margincan be from 1 to 272 character
spaces to the right of the far left print position; however, the user can only select a character space that is to the
right of the left margin setting.
To help the user visualize the right margin locations as they scroll through the possible settings. the printhead
moves to the displayed setting. The physical location of the right margin on the page is unaffected by subsequent
pitch changes.
SPECIFYING COMMUNICATIONS PARAMETERS:
The next section on the Setup menu is Communications. The communications parameters control data
communications between the printer and the host computer. Before successful communications can occur, these
parameters must be set to match those of the host computer. When you change a communications setting, the
printer clears the data input buffer.
"27) DWNLOAD: Off" Allocating Memory for User-Defined Characters:
DWNLOAD is used to allocate a portion of the printers memory to hold user-defined characters that are
downloaded from the computer. Select ON to allocate eight kilobytes (8,191 bytes) of memory for user-defined
characters or Off to allocate all of the printers memory for a data input buffer.
"28) INTRFCE: Par" Select Interface:
INTRFACE is used to select either the parallel or serial interface port for communication with the host computer.
The user can select Par for parallel or Ser for serial. If the user selects serial, you must also set the BAUD,
PARITY, DTA BITS, STOP BITS and HNDSHAK parameters to match the serial configuration of the host
computer. If the user selects parallel, these parameters are irrelevant. For our applications Par should be
selected.
"29) BAUD: 9600" Specify Baud Rate:
BAUD is used to tell the printer what serial baud rate your computer is using. Baud rate is the speed that serial
data is transmitted between the computer and the printer. The user can select 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 9600,
19200 or 38400. Both the computer and the printer must be set to the same baud rate which is 9600 for the MT3505.
"30) PARITY: None" Specify Parity:
PARITY is used to tell the printer what parity method your computer is using. Parity is a technique that lets the
printer check for data transmission errors.
The user must select None if the host computer does not support parity; Odd if the host computer uses odd
parity; or Even if the host computer uses even parity. Both the computer and the printer must be set for the same
parity method.
"31) DTA BITS: 8" Specify Number of Data Bits:
DTA BITS are used to tell the printer how many data bits your computer is sending in each byte. The user must
select 7 if your computer sends 7-bit bytes, 8 if the computer sends 8-bit bytes, or 8 if the computer sends 8-bit
bytes and you want the printer to ignore the most significant bit (MSB). For MT-3505 operation the printer should
be set to 8.
