D-1User's ManualINTERFACE INFORMATIONInterfaceINTERFACE INFORMATIONThis printer can communicate with a computerthrough a Centronics parallel interface,a RS-232C serial interface, a USB interface, or a LAN interface. You canspecify the interface selection mode so that the printer uses which interface orit can automatically select the interface from which it first receives data.This appendix provides information you may need for wiring your owninterface cables or for programming computer-to-printer communications.Most users do not need the information in this appendix. To simply connectyour printer to your computer, follow the instructions in Chapter 2.This parallel interface can operate in the following two modes:• Unidirectional (forward channel) mode or conventional mode: Thisprinter supports a conventional Centronics interface.• Bidirectional (forward/reverse channel) mode or nibble mode: Thisprinter supports a bidirectional communication per Nibble mode of theIEEE 1284 Standard.The cable connector at the printer side should be a shielded, Amphenol DDK57FE-30360 or equivalent.The connector pin assignments are given in the following tables by modes. Inthe tables:• “Input” denotes a signal from the computer to the printer.• “Output” denotes a signal from the printer to the computer.• The return lines specified in the second column represent twistedpairs, with one side connected to signal ground.• The standard signal levels are 0.0 to +0.4 V (low), and +2.4 to +5.0 V(high).DPARALLEL INTERFACE

The type of control required is determined by yourcomputer requirements. The type of control also affects the way the interfacecable is wired. To determine whether you need DSR-enabled control or DSR-disabled control, use the printer HARDWRE function (see Chapter 5).DSR-disabled control offers simpler cabling and communication than doesDSR-enabled control. DSR-disabled control can be used to interface with anIBM PC and most other personal computers. With DSR-disabled control, theinput control signals DSR, CTS, and CD are always considered high,regardless of their actual states. Therefore, no wire connection for these pinsis required. The following figure shows the wiring required for connection toan IBM PC.

User's ManualD-10INTERFACE INFORMATIONSerial ProtocolsA protocol is a set of instructions that control the way data is transmittedbetween devices such as a computer and printer. The protocol ensures thatthe computer does not send information to the printer faster than the informa-tion can be processed. By telling the computer when the printer can receivedata, the protocol prevents the printer’s buffer from overflowing.This printer offers a choice of four different protocols for connection to avariety of computers: XON/XOFF, DTR, and RC. If you computer docu-mentation does not recommend a particular protocol, try DTR. The followingtable describes the three protocols.Protocol DescriptionXON/XOFF When the printer is ready to receive data, it sends the(DC1/DC3) XON (DC1) code (hex 11). When fewer than 255 bytes ofspace remain in the buffer (or when the printer is takenoffline), the printer sends the XOFF (DC3) code (hex 13).(When the input buffer is configured for 256 bytes, thebuffer limit is reduced from 255 bytes to 63 bytes.) Thecomputer must stop transmitting data within 255 (63)characters of receiving the XOFF code, or information maybe lost. If paper runs out, the printer sends an NAK code(hex 15).DTR DTR is a hardware protocol; that is, the DTR signal oninterface cable pin 20 is used to control the flow of datarather than transmission of a character code. When theprinter is ready to receive data, pin 20 is high. When fewerthan 255 (63) bytes of space remain in the buffer (or whenthe printer is taken offline), pin 20 is low. The computermust stop transmitting data within 255 (63) characters ofDTR being low, or information may be lost.RC The RC protocol is the same as the DTR protocol, exceptthat the Reverse Channel signal (pin 11) is used instead ofthe Data Terminal Ready signal (pin 20).
