The card is normally factory-set with SW1-1 in the OFF position, which selects the
9600 baud rate. See Figure 1-2 for thermal/impact SureMark printers.
RS-232 XON/XOFF mode selection switch (Models TN x only)
The SureMark printer, Models TN x , support RS-232 protocol using DTR/DSR lines
to control data transmission. It also supports XON/XOFF modes where system and
printer software control the flow of data. Select these modes using SW1-2 on the
main logic card. The switch is located on the lower left corner of the logic card and
is accessible without removing the printer covers. Set the switch as follows:
SW1-2 OFF - DTR/DSR Control
SW1-2 ON - XON/XOFF Control (Required when using
a 3-wire RS-232 cable)
The card is normally factory-set with SW1-2 in the OFF position, which selects
DTR/DSR mode of operation. See Figure 1-2.
RS-232/RS-485 connections for Models TN x
The SureMark printer operates using either RS-232 or RS-485 communications
protocol. RS-232 is typically associated with PC systems. The printer contains a
9-pin D-shell connector for RS-232 communications. This connector is located on
the interface card and is accessible under the printer without the need to remove
the printer covers. The connector has the following pin functions:
Pin Signal Pin Signal
1 Not Connected 6 DSR
2 Transmit 7 Not Connected
3 Receive 8 Not Connected
4 DTR 9 Not Connected
5 Signal Ground
RS-485 mode of communication is obtained when attaching the appropriate cable to
Port 7 on a POS system. The RS-485 mode has a higher baud rate than RS-232.
