    General Description of the signals used 2.1 Reference (GND) Computer and printer earth in common. 2.2 DSR (Data Set Ready) in voltage levels transmission or DSR+ and DSR- in loop transmission. A printer input. This signal activates the V24 mode. A symbol appears on the screen when the DSR signal is active on S4 or on S4 Plus.

  • Page 11: Electrical Specifications

    General Electrical specifications These are of V24, RS232C. The input verification signals (DSR, CTS, RXD) are active when their voltage level is between + 3 V and + 12 V and inactive between - 3 V and - 12 V. The output verification (DTR, RTS, TXD) are active at a voltage of 9 V and inactive at a voltage of - 9 V.

    Parallel link - Selection of messages Selection of a message from the library The signals D0 to D7 (which represent one byte of 8 bits) indicate the number of the active message to be printed and its type of coding. The number of addressable messages in the library is variable (from 1 to 79 in decimal format, from 1 to 4F in hexadecimal format).
