Page 3: Chapter 1: Introduction
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The 232SPS2 is a bi-directional parallel to serial converter. The 232SPS2 allows you to convert data from your parallel port to a serial communication format or to convert data from your serial port to a parallel communication format. Standard baud rates from 1200 to 115.2k with a variety of data formats can be used to match the... -

Parallel Port CONNECTING THE 232SPS2 TO YOUR PARALLEL PORT The 232SPS2 uses most of the available pins on the parallel port. To insure proper operation, you should use a cable that connects all 25 pins from connector to connector. B&B's Model 232AMM5 is recommended. -
Page 5: Chapter 3: Serial To Parallel
CONNECTING THE 232SPS2 TO YOUR PARALLEL PRINTER The 232SPS2 has a DB-25 female connector on its parallel port. Most parallel printers use a Centronics 36-pin connector. To insure proper operation, you should use a cable that connects all 25 pins from the DB-25 connector to the appropriate pins on a Centronics 36-pin connector. -
Page 6: Chapter 4: Power Connections
CHAPTER 4: POWER CONNECTIONS The unit may be port-powered using DTR and RTS on the serial port. If the 232SPS2 cannot be powered using the handshake lines, it may be powered externally using +7 to +18 volts DC at 2 milliamps. -
Page 7: Chapter 5: Selecting Dipswitch Settings
CHAPTER 5: SELECTING DIPSWITCH SETTINGS The 232SPS2 is set up using an eight-position dipswitch. In order for the 232SPS2 to function properly, it must be set up to match your system's requirements. The following parameters on the 232SPS2 are set on the dipswitch: converter direction, baud rate, flow control, number of data bits, and the type of parity. -

"no error" states. If the printer is off-line, out of paper, etc., the 232SPS2 will force the busy line (Pin #11) on the parallel port high (logic "1") when in parallel to serial mode. If a error occurs in serial to parallel mode, the XOFF character will be sent or DTR will be lowered depending on type of flow control used. -
