| 19 This command lets you test and set delay loop values for the current baud | |
| 20 rate and select the best value for your printer (/P) or terminal (/T1). | |

| 23 Examples | |
| 24 </para> | |
| 25 <screen> | |
| 26 TUNEPORT /P [ENTER] | |
| 27 </screen> | |
| 28 <para> | |
| 29 Provides a text operation for your printer. After a short delay, TUNEPORT | |
| 30 displays the current baud rate and sends data to the printer to test if it | |
| 31 is working properly. The program then displays the current delay value and | |
| 32 asks for a new value. Enter a decimal delay value and press [ENTER]. Again, | |
| 33 test data is sent to the printer as a test. Continue this process until you | |
| 34 find the best value. When you are satisfied, press [ENTER] instead of | |
| 35 entering a value at the prompt. A closing message displays your new value. | |
| 36 </para> | |
| 37 <para> | |
| 38 Use the same process to set a new delay loop value for /T1 terminal | |
| 39 </para> | |
| 40 <screen> | |
| 41 TUNEPORT /P -s=225 [ENTER] | |
| 42 </screen> | |
| 43 <para> | |
| 44 Sets the delay loop value for your printer at 225. Use such a command on | |
| 45 future system boots to set the optimum delay value determined with the | |
| 46 TUNEPORT test function. Then, using OS9GEN or COBBLER, generate a new | |
| 47 boot file for your system diskette. You can also use TUNEPORT in your | |
| 48 system startup file to set the value using the -S option. | |
