IBM TM7 - Manual (Page 30)

If you plan to use RS-485 communications, you are responsible for ordering the
RS-485 cable.
If you plan to use USB communications, you are responsible for ordering one of the
following:
v A powered USB cable, P/N 08L2014.
v A standard USB cable with a Type B connector for the printer, and a power brick.
The 3.8-m USB cable for a distributed configuration is P/N 01L1647 and the
0.5-m USB cable for an integrated configuration is P/N 01L1646.
SureMark printers have no physical journal station. You must use an
electronic journaling application instead. Electronic journaling eliminates the
need to store paper journal tapes and the time-consuming task of searching papers
should the need arise.
Limitations
SureMark printers have a safety feature that slows printing if excessive duty cycles
are used. This feature protects the printer hardware from potential damage and
should not be noticeable during normal operation.
Communication Interfaces
All SureMark printers can support the RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. Models TI5,
TG5, and TM7 can also support the USB interface. For SureMark models that can
support the USB interface, you can upgrade installed printers from RS-232/RS-485
to USB by ordering a USB interface card.
RS-232 supports 9600 and 19 200 baud rates. RS-485 operates at a 187.5K baud
rate. USB supports data rates up to 12 Mbps.
