• To use hardware flow control, you will need an RS-232C cable whose RTS and CTS wires
are connected (7-pin at instrument to 5-pin at printer or 8-pin at instrument to 4-pin at
printer). Hardware flow control cannot be used with cables whose RTS and CTS wires are
shorted together.
• When using a printer other than the recommended model, exercise care to choose a
model with compatible connector pin assignments.
