About this guide This guide is designed to give you detailed information on how to install your C82303* interface board in a variety of Epson printers. procedures vary slightly depend- Installation ing upon the printer model that you have. Also included, are instructions on how to adjust the settings of the C82303* interface board, as well as a general description of parallel data communication.
SETTING THE CONDITIONS The C82303* interface board has a set of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches, and 6 jumpers. This switch and jumpers are used for selecting various interface operations. Board layout The diagram below shows the layout of the C82303* board, and the locations of the DIP switch and jumpers.
DIP switch settings Before you install the C82303* interface, you may need to adjust some of the settings. When making DIP switch setting changes, it is best to use a pointed device, such as a ball-point or small screwdriver. Caution All changes of DIP switch and jumper settings should be made with the printer power turned off.
DIP switch 1 The table below contains information on switch functions, and the factory setting of each switch. The switches on DIP switch 1 allow you to change interface functions. Table 1. DIP switch 1 ( ON 1 Off ( Factory setting ) 1 SW pin No.1 Function I/F board enable/disable...
Jumper settings The tables below give you information about the interface conditions that can be selected using jumpers. In all cases, ON denotes the connection of the jumper (covering both termi- nals), while OFF denotes the disconnection of the jumper. Table 2.

DATA ENTRY About data entry To accommodate data entry, the C82303* interface board is equipped with a buffer that temporarily stores data before transferring it to the printer. When this buffer becomes full, any additional transmitted data cannot be accepted discarded.
SELF TEST The self test mode can be set by the DIP switch 1-3. To set, first turn off the power to the printer and then change the DIP switch setting. When the power is turned back on, the new setting automatically comes into effect.

Note The column heading “Direction” refers to the direction of signal flow as viewed from the printer. All interface conditions are based on TTL level. Both the rise and fall of each signal must be less than 0.2 KS.
