Establishing Communication

System Considerations

Interfaces

The method of interfacing this printer to a data source depends on the
communication options installed in the printer. The standard interfaces are
an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial data port and a bi-directional parallel port.
The optional ZebraNet PrintServer II enables printers to be connected to 10
BaseT Ethernet networks. In addition, the IBM

®

Twinax or IBM Coax

option is available for those applications that require them.

Data Specifications

When communicating via an
asynchronous serial data port (refer
to Figure 13), the baud rate, number
of data and stop bits, parity, and
handshaking are user selectable.
Parity only applies to data
transmitted by the printer since the
parity of received data is ignored.
