Thanks for the tip,  i have been testing using hyperterminal with the same serial port settings on the manual but no output

if it's a serial device, then check the device's manual for its port
speed. then connect the device to the serial port (/dev/ttyS1),
and initialize the port by setting its speed using the command:

shell> setserial <options>
* "man setserial" for options


after which, you can read the data from the device as simple
as executing the command:

shell> cat /dev/ttyS1


then operate the serial device, on your case, the acroprint time
and watch the data flow. using the data, you can now code
your desired parser. note: setting the wrong port speed may
lead to an unintelligible data.

you might be planning to develop your own driver/parser. it would
be better to based your code on C. scripting languages might
suffice (http://geepeeyes.sf.net/) but it depends (-dot)  :D
