The following four-wire cable is often sufficient for a terminal, printer, or other DTE device configured for DTR (hardware) flow control. However, some terminals and printers may have other cable requirements. Consult your terminal or printer manual for this information. For more universal compatibility, use a fully-wired DB-9 terminal/printer cable.
