Brief descriptions of the signals follow.
FG – Frame Ground – (Pin 1)
This pin is connected directly to the printer frame.
TXD – Transmit Data – (Pin 2)
This output carries asynchronous data sent by the printer to the computer. It is used mainly in
handshaking protocols.
RXD – Receive Data – (Pin 3)
This input carries serial asynchronous data sent by the computer to the printer.
RTS – Request To Send – (Pin 4)
This output is always held high (above 3 volts).
CTS – Clear To Send – (Pin 5)
DSR – Data Set Ready – (Pin 6)
Unused.
SG – Signal Ground – (Pin 7)
All signals can transmit between the printer and the host computer to send each signals with
a signal ground.
DTR – Data Terminal Ready – (Pin 20)
This output is used as a buffer nearly-full handshake line. It is held high (above 3 volts) when
the buffer can accept more data.
