Cables to the Printer
1. Before turning off the printer power switch verify that the Indicator
Lamp is illuminated in green, not flashing.
2. To turn OFF the printer power press the power switch as shown in the
diagram below. Note that ( ) is the power OFF side of the switch.
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 three possibilities for connecting the printer
to your host computer. These are:
• A serial cable connection between the printer’s RS-232C serial
connector and one of your host computer’s COM ports.
• A parallel cable connection between the printer’s standard parallel
connector and your host computer’s parallel port (LPT).
• A USB cable connection between the printer’s USB interface
connector and one of your host computer’s USB port.
The diagram below shows all the possible cable connections to the
current version of the printer.
