This pin is connected directly to the printer frame.
TXD - Transmit Data - (Pin 2)
This output carries asynchronous data sent by the printer to the computer.
It is used mainly in handshaking protocols.
RXD - Receive Data - (Pin 3)
This input carries serial asynchronous data sent by the computer to the
printer.
RTS - Request To Send - (Pin 4)
This output is always held high (above 3 volts).
CTS - Clear To Send - (Pin 5)
DSR - Data Set Ready - (Pin 6)
Unused.
SG - Signal Ground - (Pin 7)
All signals can transmit between the printer and the host computer to send
each signal with a signal ground.
