Connecting the Cables

There are three different types of cables that connect to the printer:
•
Power supply cable supplying power from the host POS terminal or from a external power supply
•
Communication cable (RS-232 or USB) connecting the printer to the host computer
•
Cash drawer cable connecting the printer to one or two cash drawers
Caution: Disconnect the power before connecting the cables. Always connect the communication
cable and cash drawer cables before connecting power to the power source. Always disconnect
power to the power source before disconnecting the communication and cash drawer cables.
Follow these steps to connect the cables. See the illustration on the next page.
1. Unplug the power cable from its power source.
2. Connect the power and communication cables to their respective connectors under the printer as
shown in the illustration.
For RS232 cable, be sure to screw the communication cable to the communication connector.
3. Route the cables through the cable strain relief on the bottom of the printer, then through the two
slots in the cable access cover as shown in the illustration.
4. Connect the communication cable to the appropriate host computer connector.
5. Connect the cash drawer cable to the printer and cash drawer.
The connectors is a standard phone jack located at the rear of the printer.
6. For Host powered installation plug the DC cable into the POS terminal or plug the power cord
into the power supply for remote power supply installation, then plug the power supply into an
outlet.
At this point, the printer receives power. If the On Line LED (green) is on, the printer is on-line.
Otherwise, the printer is not receiving power. Check to insure that the host terminal is on or that the
power supply is on.
