FS-6700
A.2 Serial interface
The printer is equipped with a serial port whose circuitry duplicates the option
interface card IB-9. The device responsible for controlling the serial interface is
integrated in the gate array in the controller system. The serial interface supports
both protocols of RS-232C and RS-422A.
In the RS-232C protocol, CTS and DSR signals are included to support SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol (used typically for Windows 95’s
plug-and-play function). Toggling the protocol between RS-232C and RS-422A is
made by a shorting jumper socket that is accessible on the controller board. (The
jumper wire arrangement, that used to be provided for the succeeding models to
switch the DTR polarity is not used with these models.) To change the serial inter-
face protocol, refer to Changing the serial interface configuration section which fol-
lows.
A 25-pin D-sub connector is used for the serial interface. The extra signals used for
RS-422A are assigned to these pins that are not used for RS-232C according to the
IBM pin assignment scheme.
Serial interface specifications
The table below summarizes the specifications for the serial interface used in the
printer. The parameter options can be selected using either the printer’s front
panel or Prescribe FRPO command.
