RS-232 Serial Data Port

The connection for this standard interface is made through the female DB-9 connector on the rear panel. A DB-9 to DB-25 interface module is required for all RS-232 connections through a DB-25 cable (see RS-232 Interconnections Using a DB-25 Cable on page 105 for details).

For all RS-232 input and output signals, the printer follows both the Electronics Industries Association’s (EIA) RS-232 specifications and the Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT) V.24 standard signal level specifications.

Table 17 shows the pin configuration and function of the rear panel serial data connector on the printer.

Table 17 • Serial Data Connector Pin Configuration

Pin Number	Name	Description
1	—	Not connected
2	RXD	Receive data—data input to printer
3	TXD	Transmit data—data output from printer
4	DTR	Data terminal ready—output from printer
5	SG	Signal ground
6	DSR	Data set ready—input to printer
7	RTS	Request to send—output from printer
8	CTS	Clear to send—input to printer
*9	+5 V DC	+5 VDC

*This pin is also available as a +5 VDC power source at 750 mA. To enable this capability, a jumper on the computer’s main logic board needs to be installed on JP1, pins 2 and 3.

Note • An interface module is required for RS-422/RS-485 interface support (see RS-422/RS-485 Interconnections on page 106).
