The x370 printer boards have configurable RS485 baud rates and RS232 Baud Rates. The Print Driver configures both Settings.

A new setup called "Max x370 RS485 Baud" will configure the maximum RS485 Baud rate that the x370 boards will be configured for. The driver will now try to configure itself for the highest baud rate that the board is supported for. This new setup will place a limit on that baud rate. In addition, the FW version of the board places a limit on the supported RS 485 Baud Rates. The new setup defaults to 14400 as that is the maximum baud rate that would have been used for any installation prior to this change.

Fw Version Max Supported RS485 Baud Rate 0.00 to 2.00 9600 2.01 to 3.02 14400 3.03 28800

= 3.04 115200

Because the setup effects multiple drivers, Part and Bundle, the print drivers must be re-selected or the controller reset in order for a change in the new setup to take effect.

The RS485 Baud Rate that the XL is currently using to communicate with the x370 is now displayed in the Printer Status screen in the RS485 Prompt.

A couple of old Print Drivers needed to be modified because they modified the RS232 baud rate internally. They needed simple changes to maintain the RS485 Baud rate while doing this. We don't have printers to verify the changes with but they are extreamly simple and safe changes, they should work, or actually fix older problems.

The printers are the M2001 and Image drivers.
