C.2. Serial (RS-232C/RS-422A) Interface

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.

+5V DC - (Pin 11)

This line is connected to the printer’s +5V DC line (+5V ±0.5V, 250 mA [Parallel and Serial total] maximum, fused).

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.
