Configuring Okidata Printers

This guide demonstrates typical configuration for most Okidata MicroLine printers.

Common Serial Interface Settings:

Software Flow Control:

Protocol: XON/XOFF
Busy Line: SSD-
DSR Signal: Invalid

Hardware Flow Control:

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.
