Serial
TXD – Transmit Data – (Pin 2)
This output carries asynchronous data sent by the printer to the computer. It is used mainly in handshaking protocols.
RXD – Receive Data – (Pin 3)
This input carries serial asynchronous data sent by the computer to the printer.
RTS – Request To Send – (Pin 4)
This output is always held high (above 3 volts).
CTS – Clear To Send – (Pin 5)
DSR – Data Set Ready – (Pin 6)
Unused.
SG – Signal Ground – (Pin 7)
All signals can transmit between the printer and the host computer to send each signals with a signal ground.
DTR – Data Terminal Ready – (Pin 20)
This output is used as a buffer
RS-232C Interface Voltage Levels
The voltage levels of the interface signals conform to EIA
