When connecting more than one TS100-1600 to a PC
The TS100-1600 may not be correctly recognized.
If the PC has more than one USB port, try connecting to a different USB port to check whether the product is
correctly recognized. If the product is still unrecognized even when connected to a different USB port, use a
commercially-available USB active repeater cable.

Use a commercially-available USB active repeater cable. However, make sure that the combined length of
the USB cable and the USB active repeater cable does not exceed 20 m.
Data transfer speeds to this product may be reduced if the USB cable is extended. This may cause the
carriage to temporarily stop at the left-hand or right-hand end during printing.

(e.g., USB memory, USB HDD devices) are connected to the PC to which the product is connected. Data
transfer speeds to this product may be reduced if external USB hard disk drives or similar devices are
connected. This may cause the carriage to temporarily stop at the left-hand or right-hand end during printing.
