Configuring a Serial Port for Circulation Slip Printing

When you set up a circulation printer, you first connect it to a workstation port. If you use a serial port, you must configure the port. Then you set up Horizon to recognize and control the printer. (For instructions on Horizon printer settings, see Using Workstation Receipts.)

To configure a serial port for circulation slip printing

1 Access the port settings window for the serial port you want to set up.

(For example, in Windows 2000, you access ports in the Device Manager area on the Hardware tab in the System Properties section of the Control Panel.)

2 Use this table as a guide in setting port options:

Setting

Value

Bits per second

9600

Data bits

8

Parity

None

Stop bits

1

Flow control

Xon/Xoff

If you use an Epson printer set to use dsr/dtr, set flow control to None.

3 Save your changes.
4 If you use an Epson printer, do one of these options:
If your Epson printer is set to use Xon/Xoff, set the #3 DIP switch on your printer to the “On” position.
If your Epson printer is set to use dsr/dtr, set the #3 DIP switch on the printer to the “Off” position.
