Peripheral Devices

The following peripheral devices can be connected to NS-series PTs.
Bar Code Reader
Read bar codes as
text string data.
Memory Card
Save screen data or
the system program or
automatically read data
at startup.
Printer (See note 4.)
Connecting a general-purpose color
printer to the USB port on an
NS-series PT makes it possible to
print out the current PT display.
Note 1: Only the following models support Ethernet: NS15-TX01S, NS12-TS01(B), NS10-TV01(B),
NS8-TV@1
Note 2: Only the following models support the Controller Link Interface Unit: NS15-TX01S, NS12-TS0@, and
NS10-TV0@. (The NS5 and NS8 do not support the Controller Link Interface Unit.)
Note 3: Only the following models support the Video Input Unit: NS15-TX01S, NS12-TS0@, NS10-TV0@, and
NS8-TV@@. (The NS5 does not support the NS-CA001 Video Input Unit. The NS15 supports only the
NS-CA002 RGB/Video Input Unit. With the NS15 PT, the NS-CA002 can be used only for analog RGB
input. It cannot be used for video display.)
