CONNECTING THE 232SPS2 TO YOUR PARALLEL PORT
The 232SPS2 uses most of the available pins on the parallel port. To insure proper operation, you should use a cable that connects all 25 pins from connector to connector. B&B's Model 232AMM5 is recommended. For detailed information on which pins are connected on the parallel port, refer to Appendix A.
CONNECTING THE 232SPS2 TO YOUR SERIAL PRINTER
The connections required between your 232SPS2 and your serial printer depend on the type of flow control used. There are two kinds of flow control, XON/XOFF control and hardware handshaking control. Dipswitch position #4 must be "OFF" for XON/XOFF control. Dipswitch position #4 must be "ON" for DTR handshaking. For more detailed information on serial port connections, refer to Appendix B.
