INTRODUCTION
The Serial Interface Card 032305 * /C82306 * is an interface
that allows asynchronous serial data communication
between a host computer and an EPSON printer.
This interface card offers the following features:
• Data transmission that can be set at either RS-232D
or 20 mA Current Loop levels (RS-232D has been
revised from the former RS-232C. Set the signal
levels for RS-232D the same as for RS-232C.)
• Handshaking protocol using X-on/X-off or DTR flag
control
• Selectable data word structure that allows you to
choose parity (Odd, Even, or None) and word bit
settings (either 7 or 8 bit)
• Selection of baud rate settings from 75 to 19,200 BPS
(Data transmission speed is limited to 1,200 BPS
when the signal level is set to 20 mA Current Loop)
DIP switch 1 settings that you can change even after
installation
