What to do if Industrial Data Systems IDS 422 Accessories printer does not print (serial RS232)?
- A
  Austin MooreAug 7, 2025
  If the printer isn't printing via serial RS232, start by checking the cable connections and pin configuration. Also, ensure the baud rate and format on serial port 1 match the printer's settings. Verify that the printer is ready to receive commands. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the transmitter/receiver IC (U3 RS232) might be damaged and require replacement.

  If input port 2 isn't working, first ensure the baud rate and format on serial port 2 match the host settings. Check the cable connections and pin configuration. Verify that the internal jumper JP3 (RS232/422/485/CL) is set properly. If the problem persists, the RS232 transmitter/receiver IC (U3 RS232) or the RS422/485 transmitter/receiver IC (RS422{U11 75176} RS485{U7 75176}) may be damaged and need to be replaced.
