4.1 INTERFACE
Models 1100, 1400, 2000, M450, and M460 printers contain an RS-232C
compatible asynchronous communications port. This port is configured
as Data Communications Equipment (DCE). This allows a `One For One'
connection with a dumb terminal.
The following is the pin-out for the 25 pin RS-232C connector:
PIN 2 HOST DATA (To printer from terminal or host)
PIN 3 PRINTER DATA (From printer to terminal or host)
PIN 5 CLEAR TO SEND (From printer to terminal or host)
PIN 7 SIGNAL GROUND
The baud rate can be set by changing the jumper configuration. The
jumper can be found on the control board for the M450 and M460
printers. For the 1100, 1400, and 2000 they are on the serial I/O
board.
Other serial port functions can be set via the dip switch setting.
See the section on DIP SWITCHES.
4.2 DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
The dip switches on the memory expansion board inside the printer
allow the user to change communication parameters.
