Hi,

I am using an HP RS232 pole display with the following setting:

• Char type: USA/Europe (default)
• Command mode: EPSON (default) Baud
• rate: 9600, n , 8, 1 (default?)
• Passthru None (Default)

Here's the code

using System.IO.Ports;

private SerialPort port;
port = new SerialPort("COM2", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
port.Handshake = Handshake.None;

Port.WriteLine("Welocome to something something");

It has 2 lines consisting of 20 characters each with a total of 40 characters. I have no control how and where the characters get displayed. I have set it to accept ASCII char set and so I am able to type as is visble in the Writeline message
