System Considerations
Interfaces
The method of interfacing this printer to a data source depends on the
communication options installed in the printer. The standard interfaces are an
RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial data port and a bi-directional parallel port. The
optional ZebraNet PrintServer II enables printers to be connected to 10Base-T
Ethernet networks.
Data Specifications
When communicating via an asynchronous
serial data port (refer to Figure 11), the baud
rate, number of data and stop bits, parity,
and handshaking are user selectable (default
settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF). Parity only
applies to data transmitted by the printer
since the parity of received data is ignored.
