The RS-232C Serial Interface complies with the EIA 232C 
standard which defines the interconnect of Data Terminal 
Equipment (DTE) and Data Communication Equipment 
(DCE). 
 
Data Rates
 
The user may select line speeds of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 
9600, 19200 and 38400 baud. 
 
Default setting is for 9600 baud
 
.
 
Encoding
 
Asynchronous communication in the printers supports 7 or 
8-bit ASCII data. The string of data bits is encapsulated by 1 
Start bit, 1 or 2 Stop bits and may have an appended Parity 
bit. Parity (even, odd or none), the number of stop bits and 7 
or 8 bit data are selectable from the front panel UI. 
 
Default 
settings are for 8 bit data with 1 stop bit and parity none
 
.
 
Protocols
 
Character protocols are used to regulate the flow of 
information between machine and host. The software 
handshaking protocol of XON/XOFF, Robust XON/XOFF, 
and DTR Polarity are available – DTR provides the hardware 
handshaking. 
 
The default setting is for Robust XON/XOFF
 
.
 
Connections
 
The connector for the RS-232 interface is the 25 pin “D” Shell 
type. The use of short cables for interconnect is 
recommended. Cable length has been certified at 4 feet.
