Rs-485 Serial I/O Parameters; Cash Drawer Connector Pin Assignments; Rs-232 Connector Pin Assignments - IBM 4610-TM6 - SureMark Printer TM6 Two-color Thermal Transfer User Manual

In each case, a single dc-to-dc converter converts voltage to +24 V dc and +5 V dc.
An autoswitch circuit on the interface card senses the operating mode (RS-485,
RS-232, powered USB, or standard USB with power brick) and routes input
voltages appropriately.
v When operating in RS-485 mode, the +38 V dc is converted to +24 V dc and the

Cash drawer connector pin assignments

The SureMark printers have a single cash drawer connector. This connector can
drive either a single cash drawer (see "Description of models" on page 4 for the
cable part number) or two cash drawers using a special cable. The connector also
provides a status line which indicates if one of the cash drawers is open.
Drive voltage for each cash drawer solenoid is 24 V dc at a current of 1 ampere.
Connector pins are assigned as follows:
Pin
1
2
3
4
5
6
The cash drawer solenoids should be connected between pins 4 and 2 for cash
drawer 1 and between pins 4 and 5 for cash drawer 2. A "Y" cable is required to
bring out all the appropriate lines to attach the two units.
The cash drawer status line has a 10k resistor pull-up connected to the +5 V dc.
Note: The drawer sensor should switch pin 6 to pin 3 when the drawer is open.

RS-232 connector pin assignments

SureMark printers contain a 9-pin D-shell connector port for RS-232 communication.
This port is on the interface card, accessible under the printer without removing
printer covers. The connector has the following pin functions:
