Dear List,
I have a Siemens OP 27 Graphic display. This OP has the option to print via a serial connection. One of the preset printers is the Epson FX 1050
which I also have.
The problem:
The printer is parallel, the OP serial.
Although I got the cable pin layout from Siemens customer service to connect the OP to the printer, the information they gave me does not match with the Epson manual. Knowing how fragile the communication ports are, I do not want to try the connection with out being sure how it is supposed to be done.
The question:
Do I need to get a special serial board for the printer?
Is there a way to connect the OP (serial) to the printer parallel port and have it working as serial?
Does any one have a pin layout?
I know this sounds rather easy but I have not managed to get the info, not even from the Epson people.
Thanks in advance,
