Interface Information This printer can communicate with a computer through a serial interface, a usb interface, a Blue Tooth wireless interface, an IEEE 802.11B wireless interface. Interfaces may vary from unit to unit depending on which configuration is purchased. This appendix provides information you may need for wiring your own interface cables or for programming computer-to-printer communications. Most users do not need the information in this appendix. This information is most useful to people who specify how to configure and install these printers. To simply connect your printer to your computer, follow “Connecting the Printer to Your Host System,” in the Installation Guide. Removing the Connectivity Cover To connect the printer through an IEEE 802.11B wireless interface , you must first remove the connectivity cover on the bottom side of the printer. Connectivity Cover Connectivity Cover 1. 2. 3. 4. Locate connectivity cover on the bottom side of the printer. Push the top of the connectivity cover slightly inward. Pull the connectivity cover slightly downward and out. Connect the desired Wireless LAN module Interface Information Serial Interface Use the cable that comes with the printer or equivalent. If you prepare a cable separately, the cable connector at the printer side should be an equivalent that conforms to EIA standards. The following table shows the pin assignments that are used. Pin No. Signal Name Description This line is for transmission of data from Printer to PC. The TXD (Transmit Data) characteristics of the data transmitted are specified by the function menu. The only data that will be transmitted are XON (x’11’) and XOFF (x’13’) signals. CTS must be high for transmission to take place. RXD (Receive Data) RTS This line is for receiving data from PC. The serial interface will not accept any data unless DSR is on. This line will be set high and will remain high after the serial (Request to Send) interface finishes its Reset. DTR This line will be set high after the serial interface finishes its (Data Terminal Reset sequence. However if Ready/busy handshake Ready) protocol is selected, this line is used to indicate to PC whether or not Printer is ready to receive any more data. DSR (Data Set Ready) CTS (Clear to Send) DSR is used as another method of providing data integrity. Data will not be accepted unless DSR is high. This line will be monitored only if the XON/XOFF protocol is selected because CTS must be high in order for the serial interface to transmit data D-2 Interface Information Serial Options The serial options for the computer and the printer must match. Use the printer control panel, the computer operating system, or your software to change options specified as “selectable.” Transmission Asynchronous, full duplex Mode: Speed: 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 baud (selectable) Data bits: 7 or 8 bits (selectable) Parity bit: Even, odd, or none (selectable) Start bit: 1 bit Stop bit: 1 or 2 bits (selectable) Buffer control: XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) or DTR (Data Terminal Ready) (selectable) Buffer size: 2K, 8K, 16K, 32K, or 64K bytes (selectable) D-3 Interface Information Buffer Control Buffer control is a communication emulation used by the computer terminal and the printer to secure data transmission between the two devices. The buffer control ensures that the computer does not send information to the printer faster than the information can be processed in the printer. By telling the computer when the printer can receive data, the buffer control prevents the printer’s buffer from overflowing. This printer offers a choice of two different buffer controls for connection to a variety of computers: XON/XOFF and DTR. If you computer documentation does not recommend a particular buffer control, try DTR. The following table describes the buffer control. NOTE: XON/XOFF is the default setting from the factory. Buffer Control Description XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) When the printer is ready to receive data, it sends the XON (DC1) code (hex 11). When fewer than 255 bytes of space remain in the buffer (or when the printer is taken offline), the printer sends the XOFF (DC3) code (hex 13). (When the input buffer is configured for 256 bytes, the buffer limit is reduced from 255 bytes to 63 bytes.) The computer must stop transmitting data within 255 (63) characters of receiving the XOFF code, or information may be lost. If the paper runs out, the printer sends an NAK code (hex 15). DTR D-4 DTR is a hardware buffer control; that is, the Ready Out signal on the interface cable. (DTR) is used to control the flow of data rather than the transmission of a character code. When the printer is ready to receive data, DTR is high. When fewer than 255 (63) bytes of space remain in the buffer (or when the printer is taken offline), DTR is low. The computer must stop transmitting data within 255 (63) characters of DTR being low, or information may be lost. Interface Information USB Interface (Universal Serial Bus) Features Full compliance with the Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0. USB Function Controller with two FIFO-based Endpoints: One bidirectional Control Endpoint 0 (8 bytes) One receive Endpoint 1 (1*64 byts) The signaling bit rate is 12 Mb/s (Full speed).
