2.4 Connecting 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.
