If the check shows an error,a corresponding message is displayed. The setting must be identical at thesender and the receiver. Normally transmission is set without a parity bit.Even Even parity.A parity bit is added so that there is an even number of 1 Bits.None No check bit. Sending and receiving without check bit.Stop bits64-xx ALX 92x DPM PEM ALX 73x (PMA) AP 4.4 AP 5.4AP 5.6 With mounted and connected I/O board only.The number of stop bits is 2 and cannot be changed.Data synch.64-xx ALX 92x DPM PEM ALX 73x (PMA) AP 4.4 AP 5.4AP 5.6 With mounted and connected I/O board only.

Maximum cable length is 15 m.RS422 Sets Com2 to RS 422.RS 422 is a 4 wire point to point connection, suitable for only one device.Receiver and driver of the printer are always enabled. Data synchronizationis only possible by software (XON/XOFF). Maximum cable length is 1 km withtwisted telecommunication cable.RS485 Sets Com2 to RS 485.
