I have tried many combos with no luck.
Maybe this will work. The printer has the following Pins/signals :

1/FG, 2/TXD, 3/RXD, 6/DSR, 7/GND, 20/DTR
Pin 1 is not used

What are comm signals from PLC DB9 ?

Thanks

Printer has dip sw for xon/xoff or for DTR/DSR handshaking. Xon/xoff is set on.
This printer is normall driven by a QNX PC with DB9 to DB25 cable. It is pinned out as 2-2, 3-3, 4-6, 5-7, and 6-20. Manual says to send Chr$(27);"@" to initialize the printer which I am. But until I get the cable fixed I won't know if it's working ok.

Thanks

I have narrowed it down to the cable pinning.
I am now trying to figure out the pinning need to go from a DB9 to a DB25. DB25 had only pins 2,3,6,7,and 20.

I am having problem printing from T100MD+ to a thermal line printer. Printer uses Xon/Xoff control.
When simulating program box pops up as expected but will not work live. I suspect a protocol error.. ? Thanks.
