RS-232 Serial Interface Connector Pin Assignments

The printer provides a 25-pin DB-25S connector inside the lower cabinet for connection of a serial interface cable. This connector is also used for the RS-422 serial interface. Selection of the desired interface is determined by the position of the RS-232/422 switch located inside the lower cabinet of the printer.

The following table lists the pin assignments of the RS-232 interface connector.
