Interfaces
Standard interfaces: the RS-232 DB-9 serial data port, and IEEE 1284 compliant
bi-directional parallel port.
Optional interfaces:
• Socket Card for PCMCIA cards
Optional PrintServers:
• ZebraNet PrintServer II (external)
• PS II Internal PrintServer (factory installed only)
Which enables the printer to be connected to 10Base-T Ethernet networks.
Standard Interfaces
The standard serial and parallel interfaces ar discussed in this section.
Serial Port Communicating using a serial data port (see illustration on next page)
requires choosing the baud rate, number of data bits, stop bits, parity, and handshake
(default settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF).
Parity only applies to data transmitted by the printer since the parity of received data is
ignored. See Serial Data Communications on page 124 to configure the
