RS-232C Signal Pin Assignment

Brief descriptions of the signals follow.

FG - Frame Ground - (Pin 1)

This pin is connected directly to the printer frame.

TXD - Transmit Data - (Pin 2)

This output carries asynchronous data sent by the printer to the computer.

It is used mainly in handshaking protocols.

RXD - Receive Data - (Pin 3)

This input carries serial asynchronous data sent by the computer to the

printer.

RTS - Request To Send - (Pin 4)

This output is always held high (above 3 volts).

CTS - Clear To Send - (Pin 5)
