Interconnecting to DTE Devices —The printer is configured as data
terminal equipment (DTE). To connect the printer to other DTE devices
(such as the serial port of a personal computer), use an RS-232 null modem
(crossover) cable.
Interconnecting to DCE Devices —When the printer is connected via its
RS-232 interface to data communication equipment (DCE) such as a
modem, a STANDARD RS-232 (straight-through) interface cable must be
used.
