7 Connecting with the Serial Port (Cable)

First obtain the optional RS-232C cable (PD79901-0S).

1

Turn off the power to the printer and the device to be connected.

2

Insert the cable connector straight into the printer’s serial port.

• Take care not to connect it upside down. (The connector is connected with the side

marked “PUSH” facing upwards). Forcing the connection may damage the unit.

• To disconnect the connector, pull it out while pressing the part marked “PUSH”.

3

Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of the device being
connected.

4

Turn on the power to the printer and the connected device.

• Data is transferred through the serial port (through the RS-232C cable) only if the

cable is connected before the printer is turned on.

Precautions When Using the Connector Cable

• Ensure you are using the correct cable. For example,

do not try to force a USB connector cable in this
serial port.

• Do not touch the metal portion of the cable connec-

tor once the other end is connected to the printer
port.

• Static electricity poses a risk of damage to the

printer’s internal circuitry.

• Do not leave the cable wrapped around the printer for

extended periods. This may result in short circuiting
and discoloration.
