With an RS-232C connection, there are two dif-
ferent print data formats for the Interface mode:
standard and ESC/P.
Standard Interface mode (Mode that
enables printing from P-touch Editor
using an original P-touch driver)
With the standard Interface mode, the PT-9600
starts printing automatically when it receives a
print command from the computer. If no data is
received for 5 seconds, the PT-9600 automati-
cally exits Interface mode.
In the standard Interface mode, various interface
parameters can be selected to specify how the
data is sent from the computer.
To change the settings for the standard
serial (RS-232C) interface parameters:
1 Hold down d and press 2.
2 Press j or k until the desired parameter
is displayed. The current setting is shown.
3 Press m or g until the desired setting is
displayed.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all parameters
are set as you wish.
5 Press n to apply the settings.
ESC/P Interface mode (Mode that ena-
bles printing from a program created
by the user)
In the ESC/P Interface mode, various interface
parameters and text formats can be selected to
specify how the data sent from the computer
will be printed.
To change the settings for the ESC/P inter-
face parameters:
1 Hold down d and press 2.
2 Press j or k until the desired parameter
is displayed. The current setting is shown.
NOTE
☞ To exit Interface mode and return to the text,
hold down d and press 0.
☞ To go offline, press e.
☞ To go back online, press the space bar.
☞ Before using the USB connection, exit Interface
mode (hold down d and press 0.)
☞ The baud rate of the PT-9600 does not change
automatically. If a baud rate of 9600 bps can
be used, the P-touch can be left at its default
baud rate setting. If the baud rate of the P-
touch must be changed, refer to To change the
settings for the standard serial (RS-232C) inter-
face parameters: on page 62, and then change
the baud rate setting of the P-touch.
NOTE
Before using the Interface mode, select the print
data format (standard or ESC/P).
1 Press e to go offline.
2 Hold down d and press 2.
3 Press j or k until INTERFACE MODE is dis-
played.
4 Press m or g until the desired setting is dis-
played.
