Computer Interface Serial Interface (Option) Installing the optional serial interface board kit (IB-11) in the printer enables connection to a computer with an RS-232C standard serial interface. Interface Signals The table below shows the pins and corresponding input and output signals of the RS-232C interface connector. Pin In or out Signal Description 1- FG Frame Ground. This pin is connected directly to the printer frame. 2 Out TXD Transmit Data. This pin is used to output asynchronous data sent from the printer to the computer. This signal is often used in handshaking. 3 In RXD Receive Data. This pin is used to input serial asynchronous data sent from the computer to the printer. 4 Out RTS Request To Send. This output is always high (above 3 volts). 5 In CTS Clear To Send. Not used. 6 In DSR Data Set Ready. Not used. 7- SG Signal Ground. This pin is used to establish a common reference level for the voltages of all signals other than Frame Ground. 20 Out DTR Data Terminal Ready. This pin is used to notify the status of the printer buffer (i.e., nearly full or nearly empty) when handshaking is used. The pin goes high (above 3 volts) when the buffer is able to accept more data. Interface voltage levels The voltage levels of the interface signals conform to EIA RS-232C specifications. The voltage level of SPACE is 3 to 15 volts. The voltage level of MARK is -3 to -15 volts. Voltages between -3 and 3 volts are undefined. 4-6 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
Serial Interface (Option)
Installing the optional serial interface board kit (IB-11) in the printer enables
connection to a computer with an RS-232C standard serial interface.
Interface Signals
The table below shows the pins and corresponding input and output
signals of the RS-232C interface connector.
Interface voltage levels
The voltage levels of the interface signals conform to EIA RS-232C
specifications. The voltage level of SPACE is 3 to 15 volts. The voltage
level of MARK is -3 to -15 volts. Voltages between -3 and 3 volts are
undefined.
Pin
In or out
Signal
Description
1
—
FG
Frame Ground. This pin is connected
directly to the printer frame.
2
Out
TXD
Transmit Data. This pin is used to output
asynchronous data sent from the printer
to the computer. This signal is often used
in handshaking.
3
In
RXD
Receive Data. This pin is used to input
serial asynchronous data sent from the
computer to the printer.
4
Out
RTS
Request To Send. This output is always
high (above 3 volts).
5
In
CTS
Clear To Send. Not used.
6
In
DSR
Data Set Ready. Not used.
7
—
SG
Signal Ground. This pin is used to
establish a common reference level for
the voltages of all signals other than
Frame Ground.
20
Out
DTR
Data Terminal Ready. This pin is used to
notify the status of the printer buffer (i.e.,
nearly full or nearly empty) when
handshaking is used. The pin goes high
(above 3 volts) when the buffer is able to
accept more data.
