NOTE: Depending on the Configuration Number on the printer identification
plate, the 105SL is equipped either with a DB-25 or a DB-9 serial
connector. If the printer has a DB-9 connector, a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter
and an RS-422/RS-485 adapter are available.
The printer is equipped with a parallel interface connector and a serial interface connector, as
shown in Figure 2-3. The interface cable is not supplied with the printer.

The Zebra 105SL has a single data terminal equipment (DTE) port. Depending on
configuration, a 25-pin or a 9-pin serial interface connector is mounted at the rear of the
printer. The 25-pin connector supports RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 serial data
communications. The 9-pin connector supports RS-232 and requires an adapter (Zebra
part # 33130) to support RS-422 and RS-485 serial data communications. In order to connect
the DB-9 interface to a DB-25 connector, an adapter (Zebra part # 33138) is required. A
generic adapter may be used, but the 5 VDC signal source would not be passed through.
Figure 2-4 illustrates the DB-9 to DB-25 adapter and the cable wiring for interconnecting to the
RS-422 and RS-485 adapter.
Baud rate, parity, data length, stop bits, and XON/XOFF or DTR control protocols are front
panel selectable. The connector provides the data and control necessary to communicate
through all three signaling methods. The method used is specific to the application of the
printer. Refer to Figure 2-5 for serial data connection using a null modem cable.
