Connecting The Cables
Connecting the interface cable
Connect the plotter to the computer with the appropriate interface cable.
Two types of interface cables are available. Select the interface cable appropriate to the computer
and output software.
• Not available to use the IEEE1394 cable of 3.05 meter or more.
• This device is not Limited Power Sources.
• Only use UL approval cable as IEEE 1394 cable.
• Turn off the power switch of the plotter (the switch has to be tilted
toward the “O” side) in prior to the connection of the interface cable
and the power cable.
IEEE 1394 interface is used
Use an IEEE 1394 interface cable to connect the computer and the device together if the computer
has IEEE1394 interface.
• The RIP used must be applicable to IEEE 1394.
• Either of the two IEEE 1394 connectors can be used.
• The computer is not provided with an IEEE 1394 board, contact your
nearest RIP provider or MIMAKI sales office.
IEEE 1284 interface is used
Use an IEEE 1284 interface cable to connect the computer and the device together. It is possible to
use an IEEE 1284 interface cable for connection between the computer and the device. In this case,
however, the data transmission speed decreases.
