I've got an Epson LX-300+ that needs a serial printer cable. I'm
using the serial port because that machine, a CNC Milling machine with
a FANUC 18im control, only has a serial port(25pin F), and the port is
working fine. I've also set the parameters on the printer to match
the parameters of the controller.
What kind of cable do I need, and what are the differences in all the
serial cables?? I looked at Startech.com, and there are so many
different types of serial cables. The Epson manual just says serial
cable, with no specs on pinout or wiring diagram. I also Googled for
'serial printer pinout' and got different answers. Some say straight
through, some say a Serial Modem cable, some say Null Modem cable,
some showed the pinouts with pins 2 and 3 crossed...I'm confused.
Do I need a Null modem cable, straight through cable, a modem cable or
what???
Someone with experience please let me know which serial cable I need
to connect a printer to the serial port on my controller. I would
also assume it should work on COM1 from a PC.
Thanks.
