RS-232/RS-485 connector
The RS-232 standard is designed to transfer data to the printer from external devices such as a bar/
matrix code reader, scales. The data can be printed using a Communications port ‑type object .
An external device can be connected to connector 1h (see Fig. 6 ).
A description of 12‑pin female connector 1h (see Fig. 6 ) of the RS-232/RS-485 is given in the fol -
lowing table.

The RS-232 interface is activated on connector 1h by default. To activate the RS-485 interface, you
need to connect pin H , that is the interface switch, to ground.
For the description of how to configure the RS-232 see “7.4.2. RS-232/RS-485” .
Status beacon output
The status beacon is an external signaler of printer status that can be seen from a greater distance.
The status beacon is connected to output 1i (see Fig. 7 on page 21 ).
A description of 5‑pin female connector 1i (see Fig. 7 on page 21 ) of the status beacon is given in
