Cable Wiring

Cable Wiring

The printer allows two types of serial communication control: DSR enabled and DSR disabled. The type used is determined by processor requirements and affects the way the interface cable is wired. To select between DSR-enabled and DSR-disabled control, use the printer HARDWRE function (see “Changing Hardware Options” on page 8-24 and in subsequent sections).

DSR-disabled control offers simpler cabling and communication than DSR-enabled control. It can be used for interfacing with an IBM or most other PCs. With DSR-disabled control, input control signals DSR, CTS, and CD are always considered high, regardless of their actual status. Therefore, a wire connection for these pins is not required. The following figure below shows the wiring required for connection to an IBM PC.

DSR-enabled control enables communication with an RS-232C interface. The CTS and DSR input control signals are enabled; CD is ignored. DSR must be high when the printer receives data. If the printer has data to be transmitted, it transmits data immediately when both DSR and CTS are high.
