Cables to Your
Printer
The following paragraphs outline how to connect the cables from the
printer to your host computer, and will also show how to make cable
connections to other devices. Depending on the application software
you use to print labels, there are 5 ways to connect the printer to your
host computer. These are:
• An Ethernet connection using the printer's standard LAN
connector.
• A USB cable connection between the printer's standard USB
connector and your host computer's USB port. (Conforming to
USB 2.0)
• A serial cable connection between the printer's optional RS-232
serial connector and one of your host computer's COM ports.
• A parallel cable connection between the printer's optional parallel
connector and your host computer's parallel port (LPT).
• Wireless LAN using an optional Wireless LAN board.
