B&B Electronics 232SPS2 manual Appendix a Parallel Port Connections

APPENDIX A: PARALLEL PORT CONNECTIONS

The parallel port connections for the parallel to serial and serial to parallel mode are shown in Table A-1, and Table A-2, respectively. The connections required are the same for both modes of handshaking. The error lines on the parallel port are forced to the "no error" states. If the printer is off-line, out of paper, etc., the 232SPS2 will force the busy line (Pin #11) on the parallel port high (logic "1") when in parallel to serial mode. If a error occurs in serial to parallel mode, the XOFF character will be sent or DTR will be lowered depending on type of flow control used. (NU - Indicates a signal is not used or is not “passed through”)
