“Must Know” & How To
Daisy Chain:
Daisy Chain is used for linking multiple registers together to use one printer or to link multiple registers to the data-
base.
To Daisy Chain the Registers use a two wire 22 gauge shielded cable. Nominate one Register to be the Host.
Once you’ve chosen which Register will be the Host the other Registers will be considered the clients. Strip a small
amount of wire and run the wire from slot A and B of DAISY CHAIN on the Host Unit to slot A and B of DAISY CHAIN on
the Client Unit.
To tie the Client to the next Client unit on the Daisy Chain, strip a small amount of wire and run the wire from slot A
and B of DAISY CHAIN to slot A and B of the next client’s DAISY CHAIN.

Continue to Daisy Chain until you have tied the chain together, alternating slots on the Daisy Chain until you’ve
reached the end of the chain. The Host and the last Client on the chain will be the only two registers on the chain to
have a one wire connection.
