Connections to a Terminal
Communications with a Terminal
If you are also installing a terminal in the vehicle, consult the ter-
minal manufacturer’s literature for installation instructions. If the
terminal and Printer will communicate using either an RS232 or
USB cable, use shielded cables and keep their length as short as
possible. Ensure the routing of the cable does not invite damage to
the cable or interfere with the control or use of the vehicle.
Consult the factory for information on the various I/O data cables
offered by Zebra for use with a variety of widely used terminals.
NOTE: This unit was tested with shielded cables on the peripheral devices.
Shielded cables must be used with the unit to insure compliance.
If the terminal and the Printer will communicate via an RF link, it
is the installer’s responsibility to test the strength and reliability of
such a link prior to fi nal installation.
Power Connections to a Terminal
If you are also installing a terminal in the vehicle, you must run
two separate cables from the vehicle power source: one to the
printer and one to the terminal.
Warning: Do not attempt to power both devices from the same power cable.
The terminal power cable must be either supplied by the terminal
manufacturer or fabricated by the installer.
It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the suitability of
running a terminal from the vehicle’s battery.
NOTES: This Installation Guide does not cover the installation of any terminal
used in conjunction with the P4T Printer or Vehicle Cradle.
Zebra Technologies Corporation is not liable for personal injury or damage to
equipment caused by improper installation to any power source.
