APPENDIX A: PARALLEL PORT CONNECTIONS
The parallel port connections for the parallel to serial and serial
to parallel mode are shown in Table A-1, and Table A-2, respectively.
The connections required are the same for both modes of
handshaking. The error lines on the parallel port are forced to the "no
error" states. If the printer is off-line, out of paper, etc., the 232SPS2
will force the busy line (Pin #11) on the parallel port high (logic "1")
when in parallel to serial mode. If a error occurs in serial to parallel
mode, the XOFF character will be sent or DTR will be lowered
depending on type of flow control used. (NU - Indicates a signal is
not used or is not “passed through”)
