Using Okidata Printers in Unix Using Okidata Printers in Unix This guide demonstrates typical configuration for most Okidata MicroLine
printers.
Okidata printers generally perform most reliably when using hardware flow
control:
| Common Serial Interface Settings:
|
|---|
| Protocol | Ready/Busy
| | Busy Line | DTR (or DTR+) on some systems
| | DSR Signal | Invalid
|
Cabling:
- Cabling for an Okidata Printer using the above settings follows the
Digi Standard Cable FAQ
Notes:
- SSD+ is an alternative setting to DTR (or DTR+). To configure a
printer to use SSD+, wire CTS on the Digi side to Pin 11 (SSD) instead of
to Pin 20 (DTR). Other configuration on the Okidata does not typically
need to be changed.
- Okidata printers using hardware flow control usually require a
positive signal on pin 5 (CTS)
- Okidata printers usually require either a positive signal on DSR,
or for DSR to be set to invalid.
