Communication Cables Pin-Out
Your printer uses industry standard connections for Serial, USB and is therefore
compatible with standard printers and hosts on the market.
Please note that due to the power requirements of thermal printers, the unit will not
function with the USB cable alone. The power cord must be connected to the printer.
Several connector options are available depending on the interface card installed on the
back of the printer.
The table below details the connection pin-out for the RS-232 interface on the printer side.
