106 Zebra XiII Printer User’s Guide
Data Specifications
When communicating via an asynchronous serial data port (RS-232/ RS-
422/RS-485), the baud rate, number of data and stop bits, parity, and hand-
shaking are user-selectable. Parity only applies to data transmitted by the
XiII printer since the parity of received data is ignored.
When communicating via the parallel port, the previously mentioned
parameters are not considered. Refer to Chapter 2 starting on page 23 to
configure the communication parameters for the XiII printer. The values
selected must be the same as those used by the host equipment connected to
the XiII printer.
RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 Serial Data Port
The connections for these standard interfaces are made through the DB25S
connector on the rear panel. For all RS-232 input and output signals, the XiII
printer follows both the Electronics Industries Association’s (EIA) RS-232
specifications and the Consultative Committee for International Telegraph
and Telephone (CCITT) V.24 standard signal level specifications.
