try to force the cable if it does not plug in. The other end of the cable must be plugged into the host terminal as shown in Figure 11, or to a serial or USB port on a computer (Figure
12.) The QL Plus series is configured with the USB Open HCI interface driver allowing it to communicate with Windows® based devices.
USB drivers are included in the Zebra Universal Driver which can be downloaded from: www.zebra.com/drivers. Other terminals or communications devices may require the installation of special drivers to use the USB connection. Consult the factory for further details.
Providing Strain Relief for Communications Cable
If you will be connecting a communications cable to the printer permanently, use the strain relief features built into the belt clip retainer to prevent excessive strain on the communications connector. There are two kinds of strain relief features. If you are using the printer with the standard belt clip, bend the cable in a broad loop to relieve stress on the connector and press it into the retaining feature on the belt clip retainer as shown in figure 13.
