LaserWriter IINTX: Setting Baud Rate to 19.2Kb



I have a LaserWriter IINTX on an Apollo workstation network. Initially, I
direct-connected (9600 baud) the LaserWriter to a print server to download the
PostScript file that sets the printer to 19.2K baud.

Is a hardware setting available for this 19.2K baud setting, perhaps a jumper
inside the LaserWriter IINTX or switch settings? This would eliminate the need
to download the file.

The only way to set the baud rate of the LaserWriter IINTX to 19.2K baud is by
sending a PostScript program to the LaserWriter. For reference, here is the
PostScript program:

serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin 25 19200 64 setsccbatch

For a more detailed description of this program and the options it can change,
see page 122 of the "LaserWriter IINT/NTX Owner's Guide."
