Zebra 105Se - Data Signal Levels 5-5; Parallel Cabling Requirements 5-5; Parallel Interface 5-5

To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
•
Keep data cables as short as possible.
•
Do not bundle the data cables tightly with power cords.
•
Do not tie data cables to power wire conduits.
Interconnect to DTE Devices
The printer is configured as Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE). To
connect the printer to other DTE de-
vices (such as the serial port of a
PC), use an RS-232 Null Modem
(crossover) cable. Figure 5.2 illus-
trates the connections required for
this cable.
Interconnect to DCE Devices
When the printer is connected via its
RS-232 interface to Data Communi-
cation Equipment (DCE) such as a
modem, use a standard RS-232
(straight-through) interface cable.
Figure 5.3 illustrates the connections
required for this cable.
