How to Connect Multiple Units
Up to four machines can be connected to a single computer. When more than one machine is connected,
each machine needs to be identified on VPanel. An ID (A, B, C, and D) must be assigned to each machine to
make the setting for each machine.
In the initial setting, "A" is assigned as an ID of the machine. This section describes how to set up the IDs of the
second machine and after he setting assuming that the ID of the first machine is set up as “A”.

Procedure
Turn off the main power of the connected machine, and then disconnect the USB cable
from the computer.
Switch on the main power and the sub power of the machine connected newly, and
connect the USB cable to a computer.
Make the connection setting of the machines one by one. Be sure to connect only the machine of which
the setting is made. If you connect the machines with a same ID at the same time, the computer might
shut down.
For the USB cable, use the included cable.
Be sure to refrain from using a USB hub. If a USB hub is used, there is a possibility that the machine
cannot be connected.
