Serial Interface

The serial interface allows data to flow back and forth between the computer and the printer. However, the serial interface transfers data at a slower rate than the parallel interface.

If a serial connector is required, you may be able to install an RS-232C Serial Interface Card, an External Serial Adapter, or an RS-232C Serial/Parallel 1284-C Interface Card. See your printer documentation for more information.

Use RS-232C serial interface if the printer is more than 3.04 m (10 ft) from the computer but less than 15.24 m (50 ft) away. (You can also use a 6.1 m (20 ft) Lexmark cable to connect a printer and a computer located up to 20 feet apart.)

When using the serial interface, your printer has the following differences from the serial interface on some other printers:

The printer returns XON/XOFF with 2 stop bits in all cases.

The printer does not support DTR inversion.
