Communication using the serial data port of the printer requires choosing the number
of data and stop bits, parity, and handshaking. Default settings are 9600 baud, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF. Parity applies only to data transmitted by
the printer because the parity of received data is ignored.
The values selected must be the same as those used by the host equipment connected
to the printer.
Connect the serial data cable through the female DB-9 connector (shown below) on
the back panel of the printer.
Use a DB-9 to DB-25 interface module for all RS-232 connections through a DB-25
cable.
Note • For all RS-232 input and output signals, the printer follows the specifications
of the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 and the Consultative
Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT) V.24.
