This printer comes with both a nine-pin Electronics Industries
Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data interface (for OS-202, it is
six pin) and a standard Centronics parallel interface. In either
case, you must supply the required interface cable for your
application.
Note :
This printer complies with FCC "Rules and Regulations" ,
Part 15, for Class B Equipment, using fully shielded six-foot
data cables. Use of longer cables or unshielded cables may
increase radiated emissions above the Class B limits.
Serial (RS-232) Interface Requirements
The required cable must have a nine-pin "D" type (for OS-202, six
pin) male connector on one end, which is plugged into the mating
serial port located on the back of the printer. The other end of this
signal interface cable connects to a serial port at the host
computer.
