CAUTION! 
1.  When using a label stock, be  sure to cut the gaps.  Cutting 
labels will cause the glue to 
stick to the cutter, which may 
affect the cutter quality and 
shorten the cutter life.  
2.  Use of tag paper which  thickness exceeds specified 
value may affect the cutter 
life.  For the s pecification of 
the media, refer to  Section 
7.1 Media . 
The cutter is sharp, so care 
must be taken not to injure your 
fingers when handling the 
cutter.

fingers, jewellery, clothing, 
etc., being drawn into the 
moving parts, be sure to 
load the ribbon once the 
printer has stopped moving 
completely.
  
2.  The print head becomes hot

2.5 Connecting the  Printer to Your Host 
Computer  
  The following paragraphs outline how to connect your host computer to 
the printer, and will also show how 
to make cable connections to other 
devices.  Depending on the system configuration you use to print labels, 
there are 5 possibilities for connecting the printer to your host computer.  
These are: 
•  A parallel cable connection between  the printer’s standard parallel 
connector and your host com puter’s parallel port (LPT). 
•   An Ethernet connection using the standard LAN board.  
•   A USB cable connection between the printer’s standard USB 
connector and your host computer’s USB port. (Conforming to 
USB 2.0 Full Speed) 
•   A serial cable connection between the printer’s optional RS-232C 
serial connector and one of your  host computer’s COM ports.  
 
•   Wireless LAN using an optional Wireless LAN board.   
For details of each interface, refer to  APPENDIX 2.  
After connecting the necessary interface cables, set an operating 
environment of the printer.  Refer to  Section 2.7.2 Parameter Setting.  
 
The diagram below shows all the possible cable connections to the 
current version of the printer.
