The Model 232SPS2 converts data from
a parallel port to a serial communication format, or from a serial port to a
parallel communication format. Connects directly between computer and printer
without making any software modifications. A built-in 96-byte buffer prevents
data loss.
The serial port has a female DB25
connector and supports X-On/X-Off control as well as hardware handshaking. It
supports standard baud rates from 1200 to 115.2 kbps, and Acknowledge, Busy, and
Strobe on the parallel port. 8-position dipswitch configures the 232SPS2 to
match system.
The unit can be port-powered using
DTR and RTS on the serial port or powered externally using 7 to 18 VDC. A power
supply is available.
