• One IEEE P1284 bidirectional Centronics-compatible parallel port (36-pin Centronics 1284B female connector).
• One RS-232 compatible serial port (RJ45 connector) with program selectable baud rates to 57.6Kbps, 7/8-bit characters, ODD/EVEN/MARK/ SPACE/NO parity, XON/XOFF, CTS/RTS, and NO flow control (DTR/DSR flow control can be enabled with a special cable); and 1 or 2 stop bits. Modem signals include CTS and RTS. The SCABLE-DB25M and SCABLE-DB25F are optionally available to convert the RJ45 to a standard DB25 male or female connector.
