Computer
e EasyCoder PD4 is fitted with one 36-pin Centronics socket for the
parallel interface, one 9-pin D-style subminiature (DB9) socket for the
RS-232 serial interface port and one class B connector for the USB inter
-
face port (see Appendix C).
Parallel Interface
Use the parallel interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec Inter-
Driver. e parallel port supports error signal and paper end signal.
RS-232 Serial Interface
Use the serial interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec Inter-
Driver. You can also use it for programming (see Intermec ESim v5.xx for
EasyCoder PD4, Programmer’s Reference Manual). Before you can use the
serial interface, you may need to set up the communication parameters,
such as baud rate, parity, etc. as described in Chapter 5, “Printing.”
USB Interface
Use the USB interface with an USB-compatible version of the Intermec
InterDriver for printing. e USB interface works in the same manner as
RS-232 and is useful for error message handling (see Intermec ESim v5.xx
for EasyCoder PD4, Programmer’s Reference Manual)
