16.2 RS-232 Serial Communication Port ("uart1:")
The EasyCoder PX4i and PX6i printers are always fi tted with one RS-
232 communication port. In Intermec Fingerprint, this port is designated
"uart1:" (uart = Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter.) The
circuitry is fi tted on the CPU board (see Chapter 15) and has a fi xed set of
signals in a DB-9pin female connector which protrudes through a slot in
the printer’s rear plate.
