For Other System

Install the printer on a stand or table which has a flat, even surface.

Connect the power cord supplied for the power adapter (ref. Fig. 3) which varies
according to destination region to a power outlet which is not used for any other
electrical noise generating devices such as an electrical motor, etc.. Connect the
printer cable as required.

Cable Connections

The PP3000 can either be powered by the PST system or by a separate

power adapter. The serial interface and parallel interface apply different interface
cables. The following drawings demonstrate two examples of the cable
connections to the POS printer PP3000 series.
