to PC
The small 5-pin connector on the USB cable plugs into the
printer, and the connectors are keyed to ensure correct align-
ment. Do not try to force the cable if it does not plug in as this
could damage the pins.
The other end of the cable plugs into the USB port on a com-
puter as shown in Figure 10. The ZQ500 Series printers are
configured with the USB Open HCI interface allowing them to
communicate with Windows
®
based devices.
USB drivers are included in the Zebra Designer Driver which
can be downloaded from the Zebra website.
Cable Communication
Caution • The printer should be turned off before connecting or
disconnecting a communication cable.
The standard cable connection for the ZQ500 Series printers is
USB. The USB port provides 500mA to the A/B port when in host
mode and can connect a printer to a PC via a Type A plug to Micro
B plug. The cable has a plastic twist lock cap that provides strain
relief and locks the cable into the printer housing (see below).
Refer to Appendix A for part numbers.
Twist Lock. Rotate in a clock-
wise direction to lock cable
in place.
