Troubleshooting PIN ASSIGNMENTSReady/Busy is the hardware flow control method for the serial interface on the M-84PRO printers. By raising/lowering the voltage level on Pin 20 of the RS232C port, the printer notifies the host when it is ready to receive data. Pin 4 RTS and pin 20 DTR are the important signals on the printer for this method of flow control. The host must be capable of supporting this flow control method for it to function properly CABLE REQUIREMENTS READY/BUSY FLOW CONTROLX-ON/X-OFF FLOW CONTROL DATA STREAMSUNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS USB INTERFACE LOCAL AREA NETWORK LAN OPTIONAL INTERFACEBI-DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS GENERAL SPECIFICATIONSCANCEL CAN ENQUIRE/ACK/NAKENQUIRE ENQ PRINT JOBPRINT STOP DLE PRINT START DC1SECTION OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES INSTALLATIONERROR HANDLING PCMCIA MEMORY CARDS DESCRIPTIONPLUG-IN INTERFACE MODULES OPERATOR SETUP CUTTERGENERAL OPERATION LABEL DISPENSE OPTION OPERATOR SETUPGENERAL OPERATION LABEL REWINDER REMOVING AND UNWINDING THE ROLLINSTALLATION 3.
