The interface cable must be a shielded, Type C, IEEE 1284 parallel port cable, up
to a maximum of 2 meters long.

If your printer has a smart card module, the ports to use correspond to the module
installed:
–
The lower port (step 3 in
Figure 2-2
) is for a contact smart card module or a
contact station.
–
The upper port (step 2 in
Figure 2-2
) is for a contactless

Both ports are installed for a module containing both contactless

If the printer includes a smart card module, the printer’s smart card serial port is
connected to the PC using a smart card serial cable. The cable must be a
shielded DB9 serial cable, up to a maximum of 3 meters long.
If the PC has more than one serial port, attach the serial cable to the serial port for
the smart card application. See information with your smart card application for
the correct port to use.
