3270 Programmer’s Guide Serial Input 5. Serial Input NOTE: This section only applies if your product is equipped with a serial connector. The serial port is connected to the serial output on a PC or similar source to enable sharing the printer with the host. For this connection you need a spare cable ending in a 25-pole RS connector (order no. 076183). To use RS 232 input, Function Y24, "Data Input/Output Port Selection" must be set to zero (0) which is factory default (see Supported FSL Functions in the relevant printer driver Programmer’s Guide enclosed on your original documentation kit diskette). On the PC you must also make the following settings match the default settings on the box. Baud rate = Number of data bits = Parity = Number of stop bits = 9600 baud 8 bits None 1 bit It this is not possible, you must change the Functions 15, 16, 17, and 18 on the box to match the PC's value. NOTE: Programming of Functions 15,16,17,18 and 24 is not possible via the serial port. These functions have to be programmed either via the coax or via the parallel input port. - 27 -
