Refer to the RS-232C connector’s pin layout in APPENDIX 2. Check if the printer and the PC is properly connectable with your cable

2.Be careful that there are two types of RS-232C cable; straight cable and cross cable.

Use a straight cable for this printer.

NOTE:

The following is the detailed descriptions for each transmission control code.

1)XON/XOFF AUTO

At the power on time, the printer outputs XON. At the power off time, the printer outputs XOFF.

2)XON+READY AUTO

At the power on time, the printer outputs XON. At the power off time, the printer outputs XOFF.

3)READY/BUSY

At the power on time, the DTR signal output from the printer turns to High level (READY). At the power off time, the printer does not output XOFF.

4) ON/XOFF

At the power on time, the printer
