Figure 7-7: Connect the USB cable
– WAIT to attach the other end of the USB cable to the printer: Connect the
printer to the PC after the printer is powered on and ready. (Using this
method, Windows will keep track of the printer if you move the cable to
another physical USB port on the PC.)
USB devices can be connected to the PC through another USB device (daisy-
chained). USB hubs allow multiple USB devices (including other hubs) to be
connected (cascaded). Up to five hubs can be used between the printer and the
PC. (In a daisy chain, at least every other hub needs to be powered.) Datacard
printers do not have ports to support daisy chaining. If you need to connect two
Datacard printers to a PC with one USB port, obtain a USB hub to which both
printers can be connected.

Connecting an optional smart card cable
The ports available on the printer ( Figure 7-5 on page 7-5 ) and the model information
on the label ( Figure 1-2 on page 1-3 ) are keys to what modules are installed. (If no
smart card ports are installed in the printer, no cable is needed. Skip this procedure.)
The following table lists the modules, codes, port type, and port location.
