Parii bit :
Odd, Even, Non, of Ignore

Stop bit : 1 bit or more
cl Baud rate :
2400,4600,9600 or 19200 bps
P
Handshaking : DTR signal or X-ON I X-OFF
n
DTR=MARK, X-OFF :
Indicates that the printer cannot receive data.
.
DTR=SPACE, X-ON : Indicates that the printer is ready to receive data.
Note: The DTR signal is MARK and X-OFF code (DC3, 13h) is transmitted when the rest of the
input buffer becomes 25byte. The DTR signal is SPACE and X-ON code (DCl, llh) is
transmitted when the rest of the input buffer is regained 256-byte.
cl Error handling :
When parity error is detected, the received byte is changed to the
0
Connector :
“*’ character code. Overrun error and framing error are ignored.
25 pin sub-miniature D-shell connector (female)

I Not used. Not connected.
Note: *In/Out refers to the diraction of signal flow from the printer’s point of view.
