INLINE SYSTEM
Sharp Electronics Corporation
Section-6: Remote Printing and Printer Re-routing
This section will assist in the implementation of printer devices used for remote printing,
which require connection to an RS232 port and is considered part of the Inline system.
Prior to programming, it is important to insure that the hardware connections necessary for
each device are accomplished. As a basic rule, the following steps may be used for each
peripheral device:
1. Connecting the UP-800:
Procedure:
① Connect the specified RS232 cable to the desired Channel to be assigned
② Install a ferrite core (part no. RCORF6699BHZZ) within 50 cm of the connector on the
connection cable to reduce interference
2. Cabling Specifications:
As a general rule, each peripheral’s manufacturer should provide their recommended
specifications for cabling to the peripheral device. The below guideline for cabling should
be observed when connecting a serial device to the UP-800 terminal:
Cabling Specifications:
RS232 Serial Cable
Maximum Distance from POS to Printer 50 ft. or less
Type Cable Twisted Pair
Wire Gauge 24 AWG / Shielded
Belden Number 9540
* The true maximum distance will be determined by the quality of the cable
3. Standard D-Sub 9 Pin Connector:
The UP-800 CH1 and CH2 utilizes a standard PC-type COM Port - EIA-574 RS-232 pin out
on a DB-9 pin used for Asynchronous Data and CH3 and CH4 utilizes a Modular Jack RJ45
8 pin type COM Port for RS232. Please refer to the Peripherals section for port and cable
pinouts.
