The Z4M/Z6M printer sends and receives ASCII (American Standard Code for
Information Interchange) characters in one of two formats, Serial Data or Parallel Data.

A standard 36-pin parallel connector is available at the rear of the printer for connection to
the data source. Under normal circumstances, data sent from the printer to the host in
response to a “Printer Status Request” command is sent through the RS-232 serial port.
However, if the host has a properly configured IEEE-1284 parallel port that is recognized
by the printer, status information will be returned through the parallel port. Port selection
for status information is determined each time the printer is turned on.

Parallel cable.
Note • When using the serial data format, the baud rate, number of data and
stop bits per character, and parity are selectable. Parity only applies to data
transmitted by the printer. For received data, the parity bit is ignored.
Note • Optional Ethernet Networking Communications via ZebraNet
PrintServer II. Refer to the ZebraNet Networking: PrintServer II Operating
Guide (45537L) when using this communications option.
