Serial RS-232C Interface Configuration

In order for the printer to receive data using the RS-232C interface, configuration switch SW1 must be in the Off Position. Additionally, the baud rate on switches SW2 & SW3, and the parity on switches SW6 & SW7 must be set to match the settings on the host computer.

The RS-232C Interface signals are provided on a 6 Pin RJ type data connector located on the side of the printer. A diagram of the connector and a table showing the pin assignments are shown below.
