Connecting Cables

Connecting USB2.0 Interface Cable

Connect the PC and this machine with the USB2.0
interface cable.
• Your RIP must be compatible with USB 2.0.
• Contact a RIP maker near your location or our
office when the USB2.0 interface is not attached
to the PC.
Notes on USB 2.0 Interface
• Your RIP must be compatible with USB 2.0.
● When two or more Tx300P machines are
connected to one personal computer
When two or more Tx300P or Tx300P-1800 MkII
machines are connected to one PC, the PC may not
recognize all of the printers normally.
When a peripheral device (such as USB memory or
USB HDD) to be operated in USB high-speed mode is
connected to the same PC to which a Tx300P or
Tx300P-1800 MkII machine is connected, the USB
device may not be recognized.
If the PC has more than one USB port, reconnect the
printers to another USB port and check to see if it is
recognized. If the printer is not recognized even when
connected to a different USB port, use commercially
available USB 2.0 repeater cables.
● Notes on peripheral devices in USB high speed
mode
When a peripheral device (such as USB memory or
USB HDD) to be operated in USB high-speed mode is
connected to the same PC to which a Tx300P or
USB cable
Tx300P-1800 MkII machine is connected, the USB
device may not be recognized.
When the printer is connected to a PC to which an
external HDD is connected via USB, the printer data
output speed may drop. This may cause the head unit
to stop temporarily at the right or left end during
printing.
● Removing USB memory
If a USB memory module is inserted in the personal
computer to which a Tx300P machine is connected,
click "Stop" in the "Safely Remove Hardware" window
by following the instructions given there first and then
remove the module.
Leaving a USB memory module inserted can cause
[ERROR 10 COMMAND ERROR].
Copy the data onto the hard disk before outputting it
for printing.
