7. In detail: Power and USB
The power and USB cables connect to the AxiDraw as shown above.
Connect the USB cable to any available USB port on your computer. All AxiDraw
models currently ship with a USB A to Micro-B cable. You can switch this out for
other types of high-quality USB micro cables (e.g., USB C to Micro-B) as needed.
The plug-in power adapter included with the AxiDraw (9 V dc, regulated, cen-
ter positive) works with worldwide mains power (100-240 V ac). Outside of the
US, it may require an inexpensive plug-shape adapter. Do not use an adapter that
changes the voltage.
Once your cables are connected, make sure that the AxiDraw has room to move,
both in front of and behind the machine. Leave room for the Y axis to move, and
take care that as the carriage moves (left to right, back and forward), it cannot get
caught on stray cables.
