System Program Version
The system program version installed in the PT must be version 6.2 or higher. Update to ver-
sion 6.2 or higher if the current version is 6.1 or lower.
USB Driver for PTs
To transfer screens using USB communications, a USB driver for the PT must be installed in
the computer. For details on installing the USB drivers, refer to 2-4 Installing USB Drivers for
NS-series PTs in the CX-Designer User’s Manual.
PT Hardware Restrictions
NS-V1 PTs with lot number 0325 (manufactured February 3, 2005) or later support USB data
transfers. A commercially available USB cable can be used.
The manufacturing date can be checked using the 4-digit lot number given on the back of the
PT.
Refer to NS-series PT Lot Numbers on page A-8 for information on lot numbers.
Use a USB cable that is 2 m or shorter. If a distance of longer than 2 m is required for a USB
connection, use a commercially available USB Hub.

Precautions
for Safe Use
Commercially available and recommended USB Hubs do not have the same
specifications as the NS-series PT. Normal operation may not be possible in
environments subject to noise or static electricity. When using USB Hubs, be
sure to provide sufficient measures to prevent noise and static electricity, or
install in a location that is not subject to noise or static electricity.
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.
All models in the NS-V2 Series support USB communications. Use a commercially available
USB cable to connect the PT to the USB port.
