Page 5: 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 RS-232C. -

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. Card layout... -
Page 8: Dip Switch And Jumper Settings
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. - Page 9 DIP switch 1 (interface operations) The table below contains information on switch functions, and the factory setting of each. Table 1. DIP switch 1 Switch Function number I/F card enable/disable (Note) Word length l - 2 Parity check 1 Parity check 2 Baud rate 1 Baud rate 2 Note...
- Page 10 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 (selectable) +1 or more stop bits.
- Page 11 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.
- Page 12 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.

Page 13: Jumpers
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. - Page 14 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.

Page 16: Data Entry
To prevent such data loss, special handshaking protocols are provided to regulate the flow of data transmission. The two protocols available on the C82305 * /C82306 * interface card are DTR and X-on/X-off. Note When a parity error (if parity check is enabled), framing error, or overrun error is detected in the data received, data is ignored or an asterisk (*) is printed instead. -
Page 17: Handshaking Protocol
The C82305* /C82306* interface card sends an X-on < 11 code when it is ready to receive data, and >... - Page 18 • 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.
- Page 19 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.
