INTRODUCTION The Serial Interface Card 032305 * /C82306 * is an interface that allows asynchronous serial data communication between a host computer and an EPSON printer. This interface card offers the following features: • Data transmission that can be set at either RS-232D or 20 mA Current Loop levels (RS-232D has been revised from the former R[...]

About this guide This guide is designed to give you detailed information on how to install your C82305 * /C82306 * serial interface card in a variety of EPSON printers. Installation procedures vary slightly depending upon the printer model that you have. Also included are instructions on how to adjust the settings of the C82305 * /C82306 * interfac[...]

SETTING THE CONDITIONS The C82305 * /C82306 * interface card has two sets of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches, and seven jumpers. These switches and jumpers are used for selecting various interface operations. Card layout The figure below shows the layout of the C82305 * /C82306 * card, and the locations of the DIP switches and jumpers. Figure 1[...]

DIP switch and jumper settings Before you install the C82305 * /C82306 * interface, you may need to adjust the DIP switch 2 and jumper settings. You can change the DIP switch 1 settings after you install the interface. When making DIP switch setting changes, it is best to use a pointed device, such as a ball-point pen or small screwdriver. Caution [...]

DIP switch 2 (interface operations) The table below contains information on switch functions, and the factory setting of each. Table 2. Data word structure The data word structure is also operator selectable through DIP switch settings (See Table 1). The word structure for serial data is: 1 start bit +7 or 8 data bits (selectable) + 1 parity bit (s[...]

The table below shows the possible word structure combinations. Table 3. Word structure You can select the parity check method by DIP switch settings. (See Table 4.) Table 4. Parity check Note Since the selection of parity check depends on your type of printer, refer to your printer’s manual for details.[...]

Baud rate selection In serial data communication, data is transmitted in the form of bits. These data bits go out one at a time along a single path, and in a specified order. The BPS (Bits Per Second) rate, or speed at which these bits are transmitted, can be selected using a combination of DIP switch settings. Note In the current loop mode, accura[...]

Note • The printer will assume a setting of 1,200 BPS for switch combinations other than those shown above. • Since the maximum transmission speed (baud rate) depends on your type of printer, refer to your printer’s manual for details. Jumpers The jumper is a small terminal used for connecting or disconnecting a circuit. The jumper is on when[...]

Jumper settings Table 6. shows information about the interface conditions that can be selected using jumpers. In all cases, ON denotes the connection of the jumper (covering both terminals), while OFF denotes the disconnection of the jumper. Table 6. Jumper settings Note If the host computer is not equipped with a power supply for the Current Loop [...]

DATA ENTRY This section gives a brief description of serial data communication conditions and handshaking protocols supported by the C82305 * /C82306 * interface card. Serial data communications The CL32305 * /C82306 * interface allows you to select either RS-232D or 20 mA Current Loop signal levels; but never both at the same time. This interface [...]

Handshaking protocol DTR and X-on/X-off handshaking protocols can be performed under either RS-232D or 20mA Current Loop transmission. X-on/X-off Protocol X-on/X-off protocol is a system in which the printer transmits a code to the computer to indicate that it cannot accept more data, and a second code when it is once again ready. The C82305* /C823[...]

• Transmit timing of X-on signal The X-on signal is transmitted when the power is first turned on, or when the vacant area in the buffer is greater than the specified value (typically 512 bytes; refer to your printer manual). Figure 3. X-on/X-off thing X-ON X-OFF X-ON POWER ON Buffer capacity less than specified value Buffer capacity greater than[...]

With the status flag set, and data reception prohibited, the vacant area of the buffer gradually increases as the printer continues to print. When the vacant area in the buffer reaches the specified value (typically 512 bytes; refer to your printer manual), the flag is reset and data entry is again enabled. Note Reverse Channel pin (No. 11) and DTR[...]
