Datamax-O'NeilPrinters
Interface Cables (Parallel, Serial, and USB)
These printers usually have a serial interface.A parallel interface is available as an option.Generally,
newer models support USB, but this may or may not be standard.
Interface Description
Parallel Interface
(optional
interface)
Using a standard parallel cable, plug the hardware license key into a LPT parallel port,
and connect the cable between the key and the printer.
Serial Interface
(standard
interface)
Use an RS232-C null modem cable.The hardware license key is not part of the serial
interface since it must always be plugged into a LPT parallel port. Some Datamax may
require other serial configurations.
USB Interface
(standard or
optional interface)
Use a standard USB cable between the printer and computer (or server), and plug in
either a USB or Parallel hardware license key to one of the other ports on the
computer.
