Use Centronics printers on a TTY interface

The model 42009 Interface connects parallel printers or plotters to any 20mA data sources. The current loop interface can be operated active or passive, and the mode set individually for each of the two loops.

Interfaces:

• 1x 20mA
  • 25-pin SUB-D socket
• 1 x Centronics
  • 36-pin plug integrated in interface housing

Management and connectivity:

• Convenient startup
  • Automatic detection of the RS232 parameters
• Connect Centronics printers to industrial interfaces
  • Makes expensive special printers unnecessary
• Interface for all purposes
  • Baud rates from 300 to 19200 baud
  • Electronic system discretely secured in the adapter housing of the printer cable
  • Large safety fifo for slow handshake procedures
  • Integrated print data buffer

Power supply:

• External
  • via supplied AC adapter (only with Euro plug)

Standards & more
