SATO CL608 & CL612 SERVICE MANUAL
SECTION 3 – Interface Specifications
3-4 RS232C Serial Interface (Cont.)
Cable Requirements
* This connection at the host side of the interface would depend upon the pin that is being
used as the Ready/Busy signal by the driving software. Typically, on a PC, it would be either
CTS (pin 5) or DSR (pin 6) on a DB-25 connector.
Data Streams
Once the flow control method has been chosen for the RS232C interface, the data
stream must be sent in a specific manner. The STX and ETX Control characters
must frame the data stream.
<STX><ESC>A..Job#1..<ESC>Z<ETX><STX><ESC>A..Job#n..<ESC>Z<ETX>
NOTE: All characters, including STX, ESC and ETX are in ASCII.
