Communications 

 

Interfaces and Requirements 

 
SATO TC printer series come with a nine-pin Electronics Industries 
Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data interface, a USB interface, and 
Centronics Parallel. A variety of interface options are suitable for 
versatile applications:   
 

 

Note

:   

1.

 

Please be sure to plug the power cord into the power 
connector on the back of printer before connecting 
communication cables. 

2.

 

Printer complies with FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 15, for 
Class A Equipment, for use with fully shielded six-foot data 
cables. Use of longer cables or unshielded cables may 
increase radiated emissions above Class A limits. 

3.

 

For interface pin-out information, please refer to the section, 
“

Interface Specifications

”. 

 
 
 
USB Interface Requirements 

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is compatible with your existing 
PC hardware. The USB’s “plug and play” design makes installation easy. 
Multiple printers can share a single USB port/hub.
