Brady 2034, 2024 manual Interfacing to the Printer

2.3.1Interfacing to the Printer

For most applications, the interface between the Printer and the host device will be RS-232C. The interface cable is connected between the Printer and the host via the DB-25 connector. The DB-25 connector is labeled "serial" and is located on the back of the Printer. Several typical cable interfaces are listed in Table 2-1.

The Printer supports both XON/XOFF and CTS/DTR handshaking. For connection to most host systems, the XON/XOFF handshaking works to reduce the number of wires needed in the interface cable. For interfacing RS-422 devices, the XON/XOFF handshake is the only appropriate method. Refer to Table 2-2 for the appropriate communications cable needed for your configuration.
