Interfaces and Requirements
 
Argox OS-2130D and OS-2130DE printers come with a nine-pin 
Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data 
interface, a USB interface, Cash drawer interface and Ethernet. A 
variety of interface options are suitable for versatile applications: 
 
OS-2130D: Cash drawer, USB, and Serial interfaces 
OS-2130DE: Ethernet, Cash drawer, USB, and Serial interfaces 
 
USB Interface Requirements
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is version 2.0 and 1.1 
compliant and provides a full-speed (12Mb/s) interface that is 
compatible with your existing PC hardware. The USB’s “plug and 
play” design makes installation easy. Multiple printers can share a 
single USB port/hub. 
Serial (RS-232) Interface Requirements
Note: 
1. You must insert the power supply’s barrel connector into the 
power jack on the back of the printer before connecting 
communication cables. 
2. This printer complies with FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 15,
for Class A Equipment, for use with fully shielded six-foot data 
cables. Use of longer cables or unshielded cables may increase 
radiated emissions above Class A limits.
