3. RS-232C
3-1. Connection
Communication is enabled by the use of a D-Sub 9 Pin cross (reverse) cable.
The pin assignment of D-Sub 9 Pin and D-Sub 25 Pin is as follows.
Pin numbers indicated as D-Sub 25 Pin are not used.
Assured cable length: 15 m (However, assurance may not be applicable for some cables.)
The software for controlling the projector from a PC is intended for performing transmission and recep-
tion for only the TxD and RxD lines.
Therefore the handshake normally performed by RS-232C is not necessary.
3-2. Communication Specifications
. Full duplex communication channels (Flow control not performed.)
. Start-stop synchronism system
. Baud rate: 38.4 kbps (bits per second)
. The bit configuration is defined as follows.
1 START Bit 
+ 8 DATA Bits + 1 PARITY Bit + 1 STOP Bit
EVEN Parity ...... Total number of “1”s from D0 to D7 is an even number.
8 0
...... Total number of “1”s from D0 to D7 is an odd number.
