Zebra TLP-2844 User Manual - Munications Cables.

Hooking Up the Printer and Computer

Your printer will have one of three combinations of interfaces:

■

Parallel

■

Universal Serial Bus (USB) and DB-9 serial

■

Ethernet and RJ-11 serial

Each specific interface option—USB, parallel, ethernet, serial—is discussed

individually.

You must supply the required interface cable for your application.

CAUTIONS:Keep the power switch in the OFF position when

attaching the interface cable.

The power supply barrel connector must be inserted

into the power supply receptacle on the back of the

printer before connecting or disconnecting the com-

munications cables.

This printer complies with FCC “Rules and Regula-

tions,” Part 15, for Class B Equipment, using fully

shielded six-foot data cables.  Use of longer cables or

unshielded cables may increase radiated emissions

above the Class B limits.

Interface Cable Requirements

Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with metal or

metalized connector shells.  Shielded cables and connectors are required to

prevent radiation and reception of electrical noise.

To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:

Keep data cables as short as possible (6’ [1.83 m] recommended).

Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.

Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
