Precautions
for Safe Use
• Connecting or disconnecting the cable with power to the printer or the PT
turned ON may cause the PT to malfunction. Always turn OFF the power to
the printer and the PT before connecting or disconnecting cables.
• Do not connect an USB connector to any device that is not applicable.
• Before connecting an USB connector to a device, make sure that the device
is free of damage.
• Printing devices do not have the same general specifications as the PT.
Printers may not operate normally in locations subject to noise. When using
a printing device, either install it in a location that is not subject to noise or
provide shielding.
Reference
Connect the printer directly to the PT with a cable. Connection via a USB hub is not
possible.
