Connection
DB25S receptacle type (see Table 1 for pinouts)
The printer communications protocol can be modified from the front panel or by DIP switches located
inside the printer. When power is cycled to the printer the printer will always revert to the DIP switch
settings. It is recommended that the printer communication protocol by set by the DIP switches.
Note: When DIP switch settings have been modified cycle power to the Keltron LC series printer to enable
the new settings.
