Parallel Interface
There are two parallel interface cards available. One is a 25-pin, D-shell connector. The pin-out is such that the printer interfaces to a standard IBM PC parallel printer interface with a one-to-one cable. The second interface card provides the same interface with a standard, 36-pin Centronics type connector. Both cards provide a dual cash drawer interface. The tables below lists interface signals and pin definitions for both types of parallel interfaces.

RS-232 Serial Interface
There are three serial interface cards available. Two are 9-pin, D-shell connectors one of which will supply switched +24V power. The third interface card provides the same interface with a standard 25-pin D-shell connector. All three interface cards provide a dual cash drawer interface. The tables below lists interface signals and pin definitions for both types of serial interfaces.
NOTE: The 9 pin Serial interface with switched power should not be directly connected to any system unless the +24 volts on pin 9 is disconnected or used properly.

Table 2 Serial Interface Pin Assignments
CAUTION: Care should be taken that Pin 9 on the 9 pin serial interface that supplies switched +24V be addressed.
If this pin is grounded or connected incorrectly, damage may result to the printer and or any device that the printer is connected to.

Mark = Off = -3 to –15 Volts
Space = On = +3 to +15 Volts
Because both the host and printer are DTE's (Data Terminal Equipment), they use the same serial port pin-outs. If the cable that is used to connect the host to the printer is a pin-to-pin inter-connect, it will not work. Therefore, a null modem or turn-around cable must be used to interconnect the host and the printer.
Display Pass Through
The display pass through feature allows a pole display to be interconnected with the printer. The printer is connected to a host system with a special serial cable. The host sends serial data to the printer and the printer sends serial data to the pole display. The printer does not provide power to the display. During normal printer operation, no data is passed to the display. In pass through mode, all received data is passed on to the display.
USB Interface
The USB interface is a Version 1.1 interface that is Version 2.0 compliant. The standard USB interface card is implemented through a Standard Series "B" Receptacle as defined in the USB Specification. The printer is self-powered and does not draw power from the standard type B USB interface cable.
The Standard USB Type B connector has the following pin functions:
Pin Signal
1 Vbus (+5 V dc) (Not used in the BANKjet™ 1500)
2 Minus data
3 Plus data
4 Ground
Note: The standard USB interface does not have enough power to run the printer.
Ethernet 10-Base-T adapter
An IP addressable 10-Base-T Ethernet adapter is available for the Bankjet 1500 printer. It provides for web page configuration and supports bi-directional RAW and Telnet interfaces. All protocols are implemented to the extent necessary to support printing from Windows™ platforms; specific protocols supported include the following:
· Line Printer Daemon Protocol (LPR) – RFC1179
· Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – RFC1157
· Printer MIB – RFC1759
· Port 9100 (Raw data)
· Service Location Protocol (SLP) – RFC2165
· The TFTP Protocol (Revision 2) – RFC1350
· Telnet COM Port Control Option – RFC2217
· Hypertext Transfer Protocol – HTTP/1.1 – RFC2616
Refer to the 100-05072 Wired Ethernet Programmer’s Guide for features and additional setup information.
Note: The Ethernet adapter supports only the Ithaca Cash Drawer interface.
Cash Drawer Interface Description and Specifics
The BANKjet™ 1500 Printer supports dual cash drawers with status. The driver in the printer is capable of supplying 24 Vdc at up to 1.5 amps for 250 milliseconds.
The BANKjet™ 1500 Printer defines cash drawer closed as switch open. If the drawer is disconnected, the printer considers it closed. Since the printer does not
act on the cash drawer status, the application can interpret cash drawer status in a variable manner.
Connector Type (standard) Single RJ12 connector with 24V sink drivers
Voltage 24 volts (Refer to power supply specification)
Current 1 amp maximum with current limit
Pulse Duration 250 msec maximum
Drawer Status Open/close drawer status to printer

Table 3 Cash Drawer Connectors
The printer can be configured for one of three cash drawer configurations. The interface card has a 14-pin header with a 10-pin shunt installed.
The shunt position defines the configuration of the cash drawer. Refer to the markings on the board when determining where the shunt should be installed
to work in the three different configurations.
