Interface

Serial Option, TTP 7030

Serial Option, TTP 7030

The printer has a 10-pin connector on the control board. This connector can be used to connect to an external RS-232 adapter. See Connecting To The Computer on page 16 for installation instructions.

The transfer speed of the serial interface can be set to between 2 400 and 115 200 bits/s.

This low transfer speed limits the printing speed. Printing full-width graphics with 115 200 bits/s result in printing speeds of about 24 mm/s for the 80-mm version of the printer, and 16 mm/s for the 112-mm version.

Applications where text-only printouts are to be printed are suitable for serial interface because of its easy to use bi-directional capability.
