2.4Connecting the Cables to Your Printer

The following paragraphs outlines how to connect the cables from the B- 492L/R printer to your host computer, and will also show how to make cable connections to other devices such as the KB-80-QM keyboard, etc. Depending on the application software you use to print labels, there are two 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 3.)

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 PCMCIA interface board and LAN card (Refer to section 2.9)

The diagram below shows all the possible cable connections to the current version of the B-492L/R printer.
