Preparing the Printer for Use
To prepare the printer for use, select an appropriate location for the printer, connect the
appropriate cables to the printer, turn on the printer power, and then select and insert a media
cartridge.
Site Selection
Select a solid, level surface within reach of an available power outlet. To allow for proper
ventilation and cooling, leave open space on all sides of the printer.
Connect to Data Communication Interfaces
Select a data communication interface that is supported by both your printer and your
computer or your Local Area Network (LAN). You may send wristband formats to the printer
through any of its data communication ports.
Figure 11 shows the location of the data communication ports. Table 4 provides basic
information about the data communication interfaces.
