SERIAL INTERFACE
RS-232C is the standard serial interface for data terminal equipment.
The cable connector at the printer side should be a D-subminiature
Cannon or Cinch DB-25P male connector or equivalent that conforms

The table that follows shows the pin assignments commonly used by
most computers. In the table:
•“Input” denotes a signal from the computer to the printer.
•“Output” denotes a signal from the printer to the computer.
•The signal level for mark state (logical 1) is -3 V or lower; for
space state (logical 0), it is +3 V or higher.
