RS-232C Serial

Interface (CCITT

V.24)

The RS-232C Serial Interface complies with the EIA 232C standard which deﬁnes the interconnect of Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communication Equipment (DCE).

Data Rates

The user may select line speeds of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400 baud. Default setting is for 9600 baud.

Encoding

Asynchronous communication in the printers supports 7 or

8-bit ASCII data. The string of data bits is encapsulated by 1 Start bit, 1 or 2 Stop bits and may have an appended Parity bit. Parity (even, odd or none), the number of stop bits and 7 or 8 bit data are selectable from the front panel UI. Default

settings are for 8 bit data with 1 stop bit and parity none.

Protocols

Character protocols are used to regulate the ﬂow of information between machine and host. The software handshaking protocol of XON/XOFF, Robust XON/XOFF, and DTR Polarity are available – DTR provides the hardware handshaking. The default setting is for Robust XON/XOFF.

Connections

The connector for the RS-232 interface is the 25 pin “D” Shell type. The use of short cables for interconnect is recommended. Cable length has been certiﬁed at 4 feet.
