Appendix E: Peripheral unit drive circuit

A drive circuit for driving peripheral units (such as cash drawers) is featured on
the main logic board of this printer. A modular connector for driving peripheral
units is featured on the output side on the drive circuit. When using this circuit,
connect the cable for the peripheral unit. (Cables must be prepared by the user.)
Note that Page Mode does not support external-device drive commands. Drive
commands are available only in Line Mode.
Use cables which meet the following specifications.
1. Use the modular plug as shown in the fingure.
2. A separate ground wire is required for Europe only.
3. If the printer is to be used in Europe, the Ferrite core and the cable should be
separate, as shown in the figure.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect any other plug to the peripheral unit connector.
A separate ground wire and noise filter are required for Europe.
