Can Okidata 192/182 serial printer be replaced by Okidata 320 serial printer? If can, how do you adjust the baud rate of jumpers down to 1200. Does printer itself have these jumpers?
Any advice will be appreciated!

What are you trying to print? The Legend just spits out the raw data to the printer, so the baud settings and such have to been done at the printer. Check your printer settings.

We just track the phone number and duration of outgoing calls. Original setup was 1200 baud rate. According to my memory, printer will not print at other baud rate

The Oki will connect at 300-19200. The SMDR port only goes up to 1200. The 320 used a serial adapter board which was an option. You can still get serial to parallel converters.

For last 8-9 years, we have had about 15 pieces of bad Oki 192/182 serial boards in 2 systems. Systems are plugged to UPS, printers are connected to power surge strips.
The cost of serial port is getting pricy, that is the reason, I am thinking the alternate way.
We do not have any Oki 320 serial board, is there any way to set the baud rate at 1200.
Serial to parallel conversion is a good way. At least 1/2 dozen of good Oki 192/182 are still in the storage. Back to 15-25 years ago, I remember IBM made the small serial to parallel converter (mechanical), can these converter be used in this application?
Thanks,

Yes, they should work fine. The baud rate is set using either DIP switches on the 192 or from the built in menu feature of the 320.

Thanks! I'll try the 320 serial printer in the near future.
