INTERFACE INFORMATION 
 
 
RS-232C is the standard serial interface for data terminal equipment. The 
cable connector at the printer side should be a D-subminiature Cannon or 
Cinch DB-25P male connector or equivalent that conforms to EIA 
standards. 
SERIAL INTERFACE 
The table that follows shows the pin assignments commonly used by 
most computers.  In the table: 
•   “Input” denotes a signal from the computer to the printer. 
•   “Output” denotes a signal from the printer to the computer. 
•  The signal level for mark state (logical 1) is -3 V or lower; for 
space state (logical 0), it is +3 V or higher.
