Table 25. Host Interface Characteristics
1.
Serial RS-232 at 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600,
or 115200 baud.
2.
Parallel (Centronics compatible) or IEEE 1284 bi-directional.
3.
USB 2.0 Universal Serial Bus
The RS-232 host interface shall have the following characteristics:
Character Set:
ANSI
®
ASCII character set
Word Length:
Selectable 7-bit or 8-bit data format
Handshaking:
XON/XOFF (in receive mode only)
CTS/DTR. Clear To Send (CTS)/Data
Terminal Ready (DTR)
ETX/ACK. End of Text (ETX)/Acknowledge
(ACK)
ACK/NAK. Acknowledge (ACK)/Negative
acknowledge (NAK)
Series 1 Char
Series 2 Char
Input Buffer:
Selectable from 1 through 16 kbytes. XOFF is
transmitted and DTR goes low when buffer is
equal to or less than 25% of full. XON is
transmitted and DTR goes high when buffer is
25% above empty. Characters are transmitted
with no parity from the printer
