Intermec recommends that you only connect one printer to your PC,
either directly or through a hub. You do not need to set up any
parameters for USB communications.
1 Download and install the InterDriver software on your PC.
2 Connect one end of the USB Type A cable to the back of the printer
and connect the other end to your PC.
If you want to use a parallel port on the printer, you can choose to have
the IEEE 1284 parallel port installed either at the factory or by an
authorized Intermec service technician. You can use the parallel port
with InterDriver. The parallel port supports Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP), compatibility, nibble, byte, ECP, and additional status
reporting through IEEE 1284 nibble ID mode.
If you are using a parallel port to communicate with the printer, you
need:
an IEEE 1284 interface adapter installed in the printer.
•
• a parallel cable to run between the printer and the PC.
You can connect the printer to your PC using an IEEE 1284 cable if you
have the parallel port option installed in your printer.
Note: You must configure all printer settings through the printer
Main Menu, the printer web page, or with PrintSet 5 and a USB
connection before you use the parallel connection to the printer.
