2.4 Connecting the
Cables to Your
Printer
The following paragraphs outline how to connect the cables from the
printer to your host computer, and will also show how to make cable
connections to other devices. Depending on the application software
you use to print labels, there are 4 possibilities for connecting the
printer to your host computer. These are:
•
A serial cable connection between the printer’s RS-232 serial
connector and one of your host computer’s COM ports.
(Refer to APPENDIX 3.)
•
A parallel cable connection between the printer’s standard parallel
connector and your host computer’s parallel port (LPT).
•
An Ethernet connection using the optional LAN board.
•
A USB cable connection between the printer’s optional USB
connector and your host computer’s USB port. (Conforming to
USB 1.1)
The diagram below shows all the possible cable connections to the
