*This connection at the host side of the interface would depend upon the pin that is being used as the Ready/Busy signal by the driving software. Typically on a PC, it would be either CTS (pin 5) or DSR (pin 6) on a DB-25 connector.

Please Note:

SATO does not recommend the use of mechanical data switches commonly called A/B switches, as they are known to damage both the computer and printer serial ports.
