When communicating via the parallel
port (refer to Figure 14), the
previously mentioned parameters are
not considered. Refer to page 53 to
configure the communication
parameters for the printer. The
values selected must be the same as
those used by the host equipment
connected to the printer.
For serial and parallel pinout and
technical information, refer to the
Appendix on page 93.
Cabling Requirements
Data cables must be fully shielded and fitted with metal or metalized
connector shells. Shielded cables and connectors are required to prevent
radiation and reception of electrical noise.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
n
Keep data cables as short as possible.
n
Do not bundle the data cables tightly with the power cords.
n
Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
NOTES: Brady X-PLUS printers comply with FCC “Rules and
Regulations”, Part 15, for Class B Equipment, using fully
shielded data cables. Use of unshielded cables may increase
radiated emissions above the Class B limits.
RS-422 and RS-485 applications should use twisted shielded
pairs as recommended in the Appendix of the TA/EA.-485
Specification.
