Zebra Technologies 160S Printer User Manual


 
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
Keep data cables as short as possible.
Do not bundle the data cables tightly with power cords.
Do not tie data cables to power wire conduits.
Interconnect to DTE Devices
The printer is configured as Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE). To
connect the printer to other DTE de-
vices (such as the serial port of a
PC), use an RS-232 Null Modem
(crossover) cable. Figure 5.2 illus-
trates the connections required for
this cable.
Interconnect to DCE Devices
When the printer is connected via its
RS-232 interface to Data Communi-
cation Equipment (DCE) such as a
modem, use a standard RS-232
(straight-through) interface cable.
Figure 5.3 illustrates the connections
required for this cable.
