RS-232 Interconnections

The printer is configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). Figure 39 illustrates the internal connections of the printer’s RS-232 connector.

Figure 40 illustrates the connections required to interconnect the printer with the standard 9-pin serial port connector on a computer.

NOTES: If using a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter plug attached to the computer, use a null modem cable between the adapter plug and the printer.

To connect the printer to other DTE devices with DB-25 connectors (such as the serial port of a PC), an RS-232 null modem (crossover) cable should be used.
