18 INSTALLING THE M208 ON THE NETWORK: Connecting Peripherals
Please see list prn on page 100, set prn on page 112, and PRN Pinout on page 183.
Serial Port Connections (COM1, COM2)
Two 9-pin male DE-9P connectors with IBM PC AT compatible pinouts are provided
for connection to printers using serial ports. Each of these ports have various parame-
ters which control such things as:
• parity selection, generation, and detection,
• hardware flow control,
• software flow control,
• character description.
For more information, please see list com1|com2 on page 98, set com1|com2 on page
105, and 9-Pin COM1/COM2 Pinout on page 184.
For best performance, connect RXD lines (Pin 2) to ground on cables connected to
equipment that do not drive the transmit data signal (i.e. some printers). This will pre-
vent induced noise from being processed as data.
You have now completed the basic installation of the M208 onto the network and now
