3-5-2 Connecting a PictBridge-compatible Printer
The NS-series PTs with system version 8.1 or higher (except for NS12/10/8/5-V1 and NS5-
@@0@-V2 PTs) support PictBridge-compatible printers. Connect the USB slave connector on
the PT to the printer with a USB cable, as shown in the following figure.

(USB host connector)
Precautions
for Safe Use
• 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.
• 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.
• The PT may malfunction if the connecting cable is connected or discon-
nected while the power supply to the PT is turned ON. Always turn OFF the
power supply to the printer and PT before connecting or disconnecting the
cable.
Reference
• Connect the printer directly to the PT with a cable. Connection via a USB hub is not
possible.
• When printing with PictBridge, noise may affect the quality of the printout due to proc-
essing characteristics.
Precautions
for Correct Use
The USB slave connector on an NS-series PT is used to connect both a per-
sonal computer and a PictBridge-compatible printer. (A personal computer is
connected to transfer screen data from the CX-Designer.) Do not try to print
from the PT when the USB slave connector is connected to a personal com-
puter (i.e., do not turn ON $SB25, $SB27, or $SB29 in system bit memory). The
PT or computer may malfunction.
• Connecting Cables
Use a commercially available USB cable (2 m max.).
