NOTE:
The following is the detailed
descriptions for each transmission
control code.
1) XON/XOFF AUTO
At the power on time, the printer
outputs XON. At the power off
time, the printer outputs XOFF.
2) XON+READY AUTO
At the power on time, the printer
outputs XON. At the power off
time, the printer outputs XOFF.
3) READY/BUSY
At the power on time, the DTR
signal output from the printer
turns to High level (READY). At
the power off time, the printer does
not output XOFF.
4) ON/XOFF
At the power on time, the printer
outputs XON. At the power off
time, the printer does not output
XOFF.
5) READY/BUSY RTS
At the power on time, the RTS
signal output from the printer
turns to High level (READY). At
the power off time, the printer does
not output XOFF.
NOTES:
1. When using the hardware flow
control, the control signals and
data must be in pairs between the
printer and the PC.
Printer Host
TD → RD
RD ← TD
RTS → CTS
CTS ← RTS
DSR → DTR
DTR ← DSR
Refer to the RS-232C connector’s
pin layout in APPENDIX 2.
Check if the printer and the PC is
properly connectable with your
cable
2. Be careful that there are two
types of RS-232C cable; straight
cable and cross cable.
Use a straight cable for this
printer.
