2.1.2 Specifications
Data transmission: Serial
Synchronization: Asynchronous
Handshaking: DTR/DSR or XON/XOFF control
Signal levels: MARK= -3 to –15V: Logic “1”
SPACE= +3 to +15V: Logic “0”
Baud rage: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 bps
Data word length: 7 or 8 bits
Parity Settings: None, even, odd
Stop bits: 1 or more
Connector (printer side): Female DSUB-25 pin connector
NOTE: The data word length, baud rate, and parity depend on the

2.1.3 Switching between on-line and off-line
The printer does not have an on-line/off-line switch.
The printer goes off-line:
•Between when the power is turned on (including reset using the interface) and when the
printer is ready to receive data.
•During the self-test.
•When the cover is open.
•During paper feeding using the paper feed button.
•When the printer stops printing due to a paper-end (in cases when an empty paper supply
is detected by either paper roll end detector or the paper roll near-end detector with a
printing halt feature by
ESC c4).
•During macro executing stand by status.
•When a temporary abnormality occurs in the power supply voltage.
•When an error has occurred.

in Figure 3.3
t1 (ON time) and t2 (OFF time) are specified by ESC p or
DLE DC4.

4) Drawer open/close signal
Input signal level (connector pin 3): “L”= 0 to 0.8V
“H”= 3 to 5V
< Figure 3.3 Drawer Circuitry >
NOTE: 1. Use a shielded cable for the drawer connector cable.
2. Two driver transistors cannot be energized simultaneously.
3. The drawer drive duty must by as shown below.

4. Be sure to use the printer power supply (connector pin 4) for the drawer power source.
5. The resistance of the drawer kick-out solenoid must not be less than the specified. Otherwise, an
overcurrent could damage the solenoid.
6. Do not connect telecommunication network to the drawer kick-out connector.
