WARNING: NEVER CONNECT OR DISCONNECT INTERFACE CABLES

(OR USE A SWITCH BOX) WITH POWER APPLIED TO EITHER THE

HOST OR THE PRINTER. THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE

INTERFACE CIRCUITRY IN THE PRINTER/HOST AND IS NOT COVERED

BY WARRANTY.

NOTE: Some hosts monitor the Request-To-Send (RTS) signal (pin 4 of 25)

to determine if the printer is ready to receive data. Since the printer does not

generate this signal, the RTS line must be held true (high) in order to allow

communication. This can be performed by connecting the RTS pin to the

Clear-To-Send (CTS) signal (pin 5 of 25).
