  • Page 213: Appendix D Interface Information

    INTERFACE INFORMATION This printer can communicate with a computer through either a Centronics parallel interface or an RS-232C serial interface. You can specify the interface selection mode so that the printer uses either interface or it can automatically select the interface from which it first receives data. This appendix provides information you may need for wiring your own interface cables or for programming computer-to-printer commu- nications.

  • Page 219: Serial Interface

    INTERFACE INFORMATION SERIAL INTERFACE RS-232C is the standard serial interface for data terminal equipment. The cable connector at the printer side should be a D-subminiature Cannon or Cinch DB-25P male connector or equivalent that conforms to EIA standards. The table that follows shows the pin assignments commonly used by most computers.

Some computers may not require wire . DSR-enabled control enables communication using an RS-232C interface.

  • Page 222: Serial Protocols

    INTERFACE INFORMATION Serial Protocols A protocol is a set of instructions that control the way data is transmit- ted between devices such as a computer and printer. The protocol ensures that the computer does not send information to the printer faster than the information can be processed.
