Connecting the Printer to a PC Through the Serial Port

42
You can easily connect the PM4i to your PC using one of these ports:
• RS-232 serial port
• USB device port
• IEEE 1284 communications port (optional)
You can use a serial connection to communicate with your PC and
run PrintSet, LabelShop, or InterDriver. You can also use the serial
port to send commands directly to the printer through a terminal
connection, for instance with Telnet.
Before you can establish a serial connection, make sure that the
settings on the PC match those of your printer.
