Zebra Technologies XiII-Series Printer User Manual


 
Parallel Data Port
A standard 36-pin parallel connector is available at the rear of the printer for
connection to the data source. When the printer is properly configured for
parallel communications mode, the standard RS-232 port will not function
as an input port. The parallel interface receives data from the data source
but cannot send back printer status information over this port. However, if
the XiII printer receives a “Printer Status Request” command over the paral
-
lel interface, it will send back this status over the RS-232 port.
Parallel Port Interconnections
Table 11 shows the pin configuration and function of a standard computer-
to-printer parallel cable.
