Connecting the Cables
There are three different types of cables that connect to the printer:
• Power supply cable supplying power from the host POS terminal or from an
external power supply
• Communication cable (RS-232, USB, or LAN) connecting the printer to the host
computer
• Cash drawer cable connecting the printer to one or two cash drawers
Warning: Do not use a cash drawer with an impedance of less than 24 ohms.
Caution: Disconnect the power before connecting the cables. Always connect the
communication cable and cash drawer cables before connecting power to the power
supply. Always disconnect power to the power supply before disconnecting the
communication and cash drawer cables.
To connect the cables, follow these steps:

2. Connect the communication cable to the printer and to the host computer connector.
Warning: To avoid shorting cash drawer connector pins, be careful not to insert
the USB connector into the cash drawer port. Do not connect the USB cable to
the Cash Drawer connector.
