2.3
Please note that the item to which these application data refer is designed to be used as a
component in another finished good, and is not intended to be placed on the market or brought into
service independently.
The system integrator using this item must assume responsibility for Electro-Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC) between this item and its environment, both for emissions and
immunity/susceptibility.
Particular attention should be paid to the wiring connections between the item and the power
supply, data source and other parts of the user's system in case special shielding and/or cable
layout is required to meet applicable EMC criteria.

3.1
The serial interface Baud rates can be selected by a fitting or removing links to the rear panel links
LK1. The default mode, with no link made, is 1200 Baud, 8 Data Bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. (See
Section 6.3 for details).
Serial data is expected in standard RS-232C format with a 'Low' (-12V) meaning 'mark' or '1'. The
serial data out line on J3 pin 2 transmits XON/XOFF/NAK information to the host in the format, and
at the baud rate specified for the serial data in. The serial busy line on J3 pin 3 is true (i.e. 'low' (-
12V) when busy.
The received data is double-buffered into the controller allowing for rapid data transfer.
3.2
Whichever data mode is selected, the Controller I.C. will accept data into its buffer, and begin to
print it only when a Line Terminator character (i.e. CR (13D) or LF (10D)) is received, or enough
data has been received to fill one print line in the current width print mode.
Note that the treatment of CR and LF codes differ slightly from earlier ASL Ap24 series printers
(see below).
