Connecting the Printer to the Computer

You need an appropriate serial interface cable to connect your computer to the printer.

TM-T85

1.Make sure that the printer and the computer are turned off. Then plug the cable into the connector on the printer, as shown.

Note:

Your printer comes with inch-type hexagonal lock screws installed. If you plan to use an interface cable that requires millimeter-type lock screws, replace the inch-type screws with the enclosed millimeter-type screws by using a hex screwdriver (5 mm). To distinguish the two types of screws, see the illustration below.

Notch (one or more lines)

Inch-type

Millimeter-type

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the connector on your computer.
