USB Interface
The printer supports USB full speed v2.0 Host. To use the USB
interface to print from a PC, you need to have the Intermec
InterDriver printer driver installed on your PC. For help setting up
USB communications, see “Connecting the Printer to a PC
Through the USB Device Port” on page 24.
The printer is a “self-powered device.” Intermec recommends that you
only connect one printer to each USB port on the PC, either directly
or through a hub. You can connect other devices, such as a keyboard
or a mouse, to the same hub. If you need more than one USG printer
to a host, you should use different USB ports.
Appendix A — Specifications
The USB cable that ships with the printer has a USB Type A connector
on one end to connect to the PC and a USB Type B connector on the
other end to connect to the printer. You do not need to configure
communications for the USB port.
