Connect the Printer Using an IEEE 1284 Cable

PM43 and PM43c Mid-Range Printer User Manual
Intermec recommends that you only connect one printer to your PC,
either directly or through a hub. To connect the printer to a PC
through the USB device port, you need:
• a USB Type A to USB Type A cable.
• Intermec InterDriver ® software. To make sure you have the latest
version of InterDriver, go to the download website at
http://www.intermec.com/products/pswinterdriver
/index.aspx.
To connect the printer to your PC using a USB cable:
1 Download and install the InterDriver software on your PC.
2 Connect one end of the USB cable to the back of the printer and
connect the other end to your PC.
You do not need to set up any parameters for USB communications.
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.
To connect the printer to your PC using an IEEE 1284 cable:
Connect the IEEE 1284 cable connector to the interface adapter
•
port on the back of the printer and connect the other end of the
cable into a parallel port on the PC.
