Table 2.1-
Assignments of RS-232 connector terminals.
NOTE:
RTS line is used for hardware flow control. Indicates that the internal data buffer is full. When
the SM3000 temporarily activates this line, the host should not send data because, otherwise it will lose
information and the print result will be wrong.
