Kyocera FS-1900 manual RS-422A Interface, SG Signal Ground Pin

RS-422A Interface

Note

Serial Interface (Option)

SG - Signal Ground - (Pin 7)

All signals can transmit between the printer and the host computer to send each signal with a signal ground.

DTR - Data Terminal Ready - (Pin 20)

This output is used as a buffer nearly-full handshake line. It is held high (above 3 volts) when the buffer can accept more data.

RS-232C Interface Voltage Levels

The voltage levels of the interface signals conform to EIA RS-232C specifications. SPACE is from 3 volts to 15 volts. MARK is from -3 volts to -15 volts. Voltages between -3 volts and 3 volts are undefined.

The serial interface is set to the RS-232C mode as the factory default. However, by changing the jumper connector on the IB-10E interface board, the interface can be changed to the RS-422A mode.

In the RS-232C mode, the printer can be connected to a personal computer (or similar device) equipped with an RS-232C serial interface. (The serial interface is set to the RS-232C mode as the factory default.)

In the RS-422A mode, the printer can be connected to a personal computer (or similar device) equipped with an RS-422A serial interface.

Changing of the jumper connector should be carried out only by a Kyocera Mita authorized dealer or Kyocera Mita certified technician. Kyocera Mita shall not be liable for damage due to improper changing of the jumper connector.
