Communications Code
The XiII printer sends and receives American Standard Code for Informa
-
tion Interchange (ASCII). This code consists of 128 characters (256 for
Code Page 850) including uppercase and lowercase letters, characters,
punctuation marks, and various control codes.
Interfaces
The method of interfacing the Zebra XiII-Series 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 IBM® Twinax or IBM Coax option is
available for those applications which require them.
Data Specifications
When communicating via an asynchronous serial data port (RS-232/
RS-422/RS-485), the baud rate, number of data and stop bits, parity, and
handshaking are user-selectable. Parity only applies to data transmitted by
the XiII printer since the parity of received data is ignored.
When communicating via the parallel port, the previously mentioned
parameters are not considered. Refer to “Configuration and Calibration”
on page 29 to configure the communication parameters for the XiII
printer. The values selected must be the same as those used by the host
equipment connected to the XiII printer.
