The 4100 printer supports serial communications with the following Electronics
Industries Association (EIA) interfaces:
• RS-232C
• RS-422
• RS-485
These interfaces are described below. You may also find more detailed
information in the Data Communications Reference Manual (Intermec Part No.
044737). The table that follows these interface descriptions lists the appropriate
pin assignments for each interface.
RS-232C Serial Interface
The RS-232C serial interface is used in all asynchronous point-to-point full or
half-duplex direct data communications or modem control. The cable
connected to the printer must have the pin assignments listed in the table to
operate properly under RS-232C.
Pin 20
Pin 20 of the RS-232C interface is the primary pin used by the 4100 printer to
indicate its status when standard protocol is selected. Pin 20 is high when the
printer status is ready. Pin 20 is low when the printer is in one of these
conditions:
• Buffer full
• Ribbon fault
• No label stock
• Label at strip pin
• Offline
In XON/XOFF or hardware flow control, pin 20 and pin 11 indicate the printer
mechanical status and the status of the printer input buffer. They are high
when there is room in the buffer and low if the buffer is full or the printer is
offline.
Pin 11
Pin 11 of the RS-232C interface is used by the 4100 printer to indicate its status.
In Intermec Standard protocol, pin 11 still used for backward compatibility to
the 86XX product line. It is high when the printer status is ready. Pin 11 is low
during the same conditions as when pin 20 is low.
