2. Configuration
2.1 Interface
2.1.1 RS-232 serial interface
2.1.2 Specifications
Data transmission: Serial
Synchronization: Asynchronous
Handshaking: DTR/DSR or XON/XOFF control
Signal levels: MARK= -3 to – 15V: Logic “ 1”
SPACE= +3 to +15V: Logic “ 0”
Baud rage: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 bps
Data word length: 7 or 8 bits
Parity Settings: None, even, odd
Stop bits: 1 or more
Connector (printer side): Female DSUB-25 pin connector
NOTE: The data word length, baud rate, and parity depend on the
DIP switch settings.
2.1.3 Switching between on-line and off-line
The printer does not have an on-line/off-line switch.
The printer goes off-line:
• Between when the power is turned on (including reset using the
interface) and when the printer is ready to receive data.
• During the self-test.
• When the cover is open.
• During paper feeding using the paper feed button.
• When the printer stops printing due to a paper-end (in cases when
an empty paper supply is detected by either paper roll end detector or
the paper roll near-end detector with a printing halt feature by
ESC c4).
• During macro executing stand by status.
• When a temporary abnormality occurs in the power supply voltage.
• When an error has occurred.
