System Considerations

Communications Code

The XiII printer sends and receives American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). This code consists of 128 characters (256 for Code Page 850) including uppercase and lowercase letters, characters, punctuation marks, and various control codes.

Interfaces

The method of interfacing the Zebra XiII-Series printer to a data source depends on the communication options installed in the printer. The standard interfaces are an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial data port and a bi-directional parallel port. The IBM® Twinax or IBM Coax option is available for those applications which require them.
