Select a Communication Interface

The way that you connect your printer to a data source depends on the communication options installed in the printer. You may use any available connection to send commands and label formats from a host computer to the printer.

Caution • Ensure that the printer power is off (O) before connecting data communications cables. Connecting a data communications cable while the power is on (I) may damage the printer.

Note • You must supply all interface cables or wireless cards for your application. Refer to Data Cable Requirements on page 22 for specific cable requirements.

Connector Locations

Refer to Figure 5. The printer comes standard with both an Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial interface (DB-9 connector) and an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel interface. You may use either of these interface methods to send commands and label formats from a computer to the printer.
