Precautions When Connecting to a TM Printer
English
A)”
Before the DM-D500 is connected to a TM printer, check the serial
number on the label affixed to the rear or bottom of the TM printer.
If the serial number is one of the numbers listed in the following
table, the printer can be connected to the DM-D500 without an
additional board. If the serial number is not listed in the table, the
DM-D500 requires the latest model of the UB-S01 board (Part code:
C8233610200).

instructions.
Assembling using Velcro tapes
1. Make sure both the printer and the host computer are
turned
off.
2. Disconnect the DC cable from the printer.
CAUTION:
❏ You must disconnect the power supply because electrical
current is flowing in some parts of the printer circuit even when
the power switch is turned off; otherwise, you may damage the
UB-S09 and the printer.
❏ When disconnecting the DC cable, hold the plug firmly. Do not
tug on the cord itself.

(*1) The “Y-connection enable” is set when a TM printer with no modular jack for the DM-D is
connected with this product, using one COM port to connect both TM printer and DM
display. In this case, an optional DM-D stand (DP-501) and a connecting cable are required.
In cases other than above, choose “Y-connection disabled” (default setting).
(*2) This function can select whether or not you perform self test when turning on the power.
See “Self Test” for details.
(*3) When selecting “20 column and 2 line mode,” this product can be used like the
DM-D105/106/205/206. In this case, the graphic display and the original functions for the
DM-D500 cannot be used; however, by selecting “256 × 64 dots mode,” they can be used.
(*4) When setting to “Printer is selected,” data is sent to the TM printer, but is not dis played on
the display. When setting to “Display is selected,” data is displayed on the display but is not
output from the TM printer. The selection can be changed using the <ESC=> command.
(*5) Stays at OFF setting.
