P1003645-001 TTPM2™ Installation and Programming Manual 03/05/2009
Communications Protocol
The protocol is 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Handshaking is DIP-switch-selectable,
either XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS (DIP-switch 5).
Communications Port
The following table shows how to connect the TTPM2 to the serial port of a PC compatible
computer.
Communications Cable
Use a 9-pin serial cable to connect the TTPM2 printer to the host computer. Such a cable is
available from Zebra. Part number 10825-000. The cable is 1.5 m long with 9-pole D-sub
connectors at both ends (PC and TTPM2).
Adapters with 25-pole D-sub connector at the PC end of the cable are commercially available.
Standard = Consecutive lower entry + single-ticket upper entry
DCT = Dual Consecutive entries
CD200 = Card dispenser mode
Test = Zebra production test setting, not to be used!
Note • Use RTS/CTS hardware handshake (dip-switch 5 = OFF) when ACK/NAK + error
code is enabled (dip-switch 6 = ON).

Note • The leads marked "Not used" make it possible to turn the cable either way around.
Caution • Using a non-approved cable with the printer may void the FCC and other EMC
approvals of the printer.
