Interface | Pin No. | Name | Operation |
1 | Chassis Ground | Connect to pin 1, chassis ground, of connected device. | |
|
| (GND) |
|
2 | Transmit Data | Output: Connect to receive data pin of connected device. | |
|
| (TD) |
|
3 | Receive Data | Input: Connect to transmit data pin of connected device. | |
|
| (RD) |
|
4 | Request to Send | Output: When you use a modem, connect to modem RTS pin. | |
|
| (RTS) | The modem sets RTS to true before transmission. The printer |
|
|
| sets RTS to false after transmission. |
5 | Clear to Send | Input: When you use a modem, connect to modem CTS pin. The | |
|
| (CTS) | modem must set CTS true before the printer transmits data. If not |
|
|
| connected, CTS sets itself true. |
7 | Signal Ground | To enable communications, connect to signal ground of | |
|
| (SG) | connected device. Completes circuit for all |
11 | Printer Status (PS) | Output: When not using software flow control (XON/XOFF), | |
|
|
| connect to input of connected device (for example, CTS). |
|
|
| Indicates printer mechanical status and status of printer input |

| buffer. |
13 | Input B | Input: Serial differential data to the printer. | |
14 | Output A | Output: Serial differential data from the printer. | |
16 | Input A | Input: Serial differential data to the printer. | |
19 | Output B | Output: Serial differential data from the printer. | |
20 | Data Terminal | Output: When you use a modem, connect to modem DTR pin. | |
|
| Ready (DTR) |

When using Intermec Standard Protocol, this pin indicates that the printer is switched on.
When using XON/XOFF or hardware flow control, this pin indicates the printer mechanical status and the status of the printer input buffer.
