Interface Specifications

WARNING: Never connect or disconnect interface cables (or use a switch box) with power applied to either the host or the printer. This may cause damage to the interface circuitry in the printer/host and is not covered by warranty.

Note: Some hosts monitor the Request-To-Send (RTS) signal (pin 4 of 25) to determine if the printer is ready to receive data. Since the printer does not generate this signal, the RTS line must be held true (high) in order to allow communication. Perform this by connecting the RTS pin to the Clear-To- Send (CTS) signal (pin 5 of 25).
