2.5 CONNECTIONS

This section explains the power cable and interface cable connection procedures.
2.5.1 Standard interface connection
CG2 Series printers have two types of Main PCBs, and each type of PCB is equipped with a different type of
interface to perform data communication with the host. These are described as follows.
1) Type 1: USB and RS232C on-board
2) Type 2: USB and LAN on-board
Connect only one type of interface cable from the printer to the host computer. Use the cable that is
compatible with the standard of the interface board as stated in Section 7: Interface Specifications. Make
sure the cable is correctly oriented.
Type1: USB and RS232C on-board

Never connect or disconnect interface cables (or use a switch box) with power applied to either the host
or printer. This may caused damage to the interface circuitry in the printer/ host and is not covered by
warranty.
