I don't know what they mean by Asynchron 16 but the rest ins quite normal.

For Parity "gerade" means even.
"Sperrschritt" is Stop Bits.

So you have:
   7 bit
   even parity
   one stop bit.

It's possible that the 16 refers to baud rate.  Is there a table of any 
kind in
the manual?  Is it big?  Could you provide a scan?
