2.2 Setting up the Printer
2.2.1 Interface Connection
When connecting the iQ printer to a computer via the USB interface cable, make sure to utilize the
same USB port used during the driver installation process. If the same USB port is not available or
not known, then please go to the printer driver’s Properties Dialogue Box, and make sure the
correct port is checked under the Ports tab.
The iQ supports RS-232 Serial and USB interface connections, you can choose to connect the
printer to the computer via these ports.
To connect:
• Make sure the printer is powered OFF.
• The printer will identify the communication port automatically.
• The default values of printer port can be obtained from the self-test report (see 3.1.3 Advanced
Functions/Obtaining Printer Configuration Information).
• Cable configurations for Serial (RS-232C) interface can be found in Appendix
A: Interface
Specifications of this guide.
• Please take the following measures to reduce cable noise.
