Connecting the Cables
There are three different types of cables that connect to the printer:
• Power supply cable supplying power from the power supply (see “Power
Requirements” in Appendix A for more information about the power supply)
• Communication cable connecting the printer to the host system
• Cash drawer cables connecting the printer to one or two cash drawers
Caution: Be sure that all power is disconnected before connecting the cables.
Follow these steps to connect the cables to the printer and host system. See the
illustration on the facing page.
1. Unplug the power supply's power cord if it is plugged in.
2. Route the power supply cable through the rear of the printer (an optional
strain relief bushing is in the box) and through the cable clamp under the
base.
3. Plug the power supply cable into the power connector under the base.
4. Plug the power cord into the power supply, then into an outlet.
At this point, the printer receives power. However, the printer is not “on-
line” until the On Line button is pushed.
5. Route the communication cable through the rear of the printer (an optional
strain relief bushing is in the box) and through the cable clamp under the
base.
6. Connect the communication cable to the connector under the base.
7. Connect the communication cable to the appropriate host system connector.
8. Connect the cash drawer cables to the printer and cash drawers.
The connectors are standard phone jacks located in the back of the printer.
9. Press the On Line button on the operator panel to put the printer on-line.
The power LED (green) comes on indicating the printer is on-line.
The printer goes through a self-test routine to ensure everything is working
properly then “beeps.” When the printer has completed its “startup” cycle, it is
ready to receive data. If the printer doesn't start printing, or the host system
indicates that there is a problem, see “Solving Problems” later in this book.
