RS-422 Serial Interface

EasyCoder 3400e Bar Code Label Printer User’s Manual

RS-422 Serial Interface

Use the RS-422 interface in long line point-to-point direct connect installations. The printer cable must have the pin assignments for an RS-422 serial interface shown in the table on this page.

RS-485 Serial Interface

Use the RS-485 serial interface for Multi-Drop installations only. The printer cable must have the pin assignments for an RS-485 serial interface shown in the table on this page.

Interface	Pin No.	Name	Operation
RS-232/422/485	1	Chassis Ground	Connect to pin 1, chassis ground, of connected device.
		(GND)
RS-232	2	Transmit Data	Output: Connect to receive data pin of connected device.
		(TD)
RS-232	3	Receive Data	Input: Connect to transmit data pin of connected device.
		(RD)
RS-232/422/485	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.
RS-232/422/485	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.
RS-232/422/485	7	Signal Ground	To enable communications, connect to signal ground of
		(SG)	connected device. Completes circuit for all RS-232 signals.
RS-232/422/485	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.
RS-422/485	13	Input B	Input: Serial differential data to the printer.
RS-422/485	14	Output A	Output: Serial differential data from the printer.
RS-422/485	16	Input A	Input: Serial differential data to the printer.
RS-422/485	19	Output B	Output: Serial differential data from the printer.
RS-232/422/485	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.
