APPENDIX A: PARALLEL PORT CONNECTIONS
The parallel port connections for the parallel to serial and serial
to parallel mode are shown in Table A-1, and Table A-2,
respectively. The connections required are the same for both modes
of handshaking. The error lines on the parallel port are forced to the
"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. (NU - Indicates a
signal is not used or is not “passed through”)
