Please refer to the drawing attached to back of this specification for connect or positions. 
These printers are fully hot plug : any connector hereafter can be connected or disconnected without damaging 
the printer. 
 

5.1 

Power supply connector 

 

Connector J1

: MOLEX, 53048 Series 9 contacts. Female 51021 Series  contacts 50079/50058. 

Power supply (V bat) is from 5v to 8.5v DC. Maximum current is 5A @ 5V (peak for 3ms). In OFF mode the 
printer’s consumption is less than 10nA.
