Connect the Printer Using a USB Cable
Intermec recommends that you only connect one printer to your PC,
either directly or through a hub. You do not need to set up any parameters
for USB communications.
1 Download and install the InterDriver software on your PC.
2 When prompted, connect one end of the USB Type A cable to the
back of the printer and connect the other end to your PC.
About the Parallel Port
If you want to use a parallel port on the printer, you can choose to have
the IEEE 1284 parallel port installed either at the factory or by an
authorized Intermec service technician. You can use the parallel port with
InterDriver. The parallel port supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP),
compatibility, nibble, byte, ECP, and additional status reporting through
IEEE 1284 nibble ID mode.
If you are using a parallel port to communicate with the printer, you need:
• an IEEE 1284 interface adapter installed in the printer.
• a parallel cable to run between the printer and the PC.
