Hooking Up the Printer and Computer
Your printer will have a combination of interfaces: USB and Serial or USB and Ethernet.
.
Interface Cable Requirements
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with metal or metallized
connector shells. Shielded cables and connectors are required to prevent radiation and
reception of electrical noise.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
• Keep data cables as short as possible (6’ [1.83 m] recommended).
• Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
• Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
USB Interface Requirements
Universal Serial Bus (version 2.0 compliant) provides a fast interface that is compatible with
your existing PC hardware. USB’s “plug and play” design makes installation easy. Multiple
printers can share a single USB port/hub.
When using USB cable not supplied with your printer, verify that the cable or cable packaging
bears the “Certified USB™” mark (see below) to guarantee USB 2.0 compliance.
Caution • Keep the power switch in the OFF position when attaching the interface cable.
The power cord must be inserted into the power base on the back of the printer before
connecting or disconnecting the communications cables.
Important • This printer complies with FCC “Rules and Regulations,” Part 15, for Class B
Equipment, using fully shielded data cables. Use of unshielded cables may increase radiated
emissions above the Class B limits.
