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 2.)

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 current version of the printer.
