10. Connecting the Printer and Computer
Note :
The power supply barrel connector must be inserted into the
power jack on the back of the printer before connecting the
communication cables.
Power Jack
The 9742 printer is equipped with a ninepin Electronics Industries
Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data interface, a standard
Centronics parallel interface and USB interface.
In either case, you must supply the required interface cable for
your application!
Note :
This printer complies with FCC "Rules and Regulations" , Part
15, for Class A Equipment, using fully shielded six-foot data
cables. Use of longer cables or unshielded cables may
increase radiated emissions above the Class A limits.
RS232 Serial Port
Serial (RS-232) Interface Requirements
USB port
The required cable must have a nine-pin "D" type male connector
on one end, which is plugged into the mating serial port located on
the back of the printer. The other end of this signal interface cable
connects to a serial port at the host computer.
Parallel Port
For technical and pin-out information, please refer to the
Reference Technical Information-Interface Specification on page
55 of this booklet.

Parallel Interface Requirements
11. Communicating with the Printer
The required cable (IEEE 1284-compliant is recommended) must
have a standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end, which is
plugged into the parallel port located on the back of the printer. The
other end of the parallel interface cable connects to the printer
connector at the host computer. For pin-out information, refer to
the Reference Technical Information- Interface Specification.
The bundled printer driver can be applied to all the applications
under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, and Windows NT. Through this
driver you may run any popular software applications e.g.
MS-Word and print out the contents by this label printer as long as
they are for Windows.
Before installation
Serial and Parallel Cabling Requirements.
1. Check the contents of the driver to ensure it is complete.
2. Make a backup copy of this driver.
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with
metal or metalized connector shells. This will help to prevent
radiation and reception of electrical noise.
3. Read the read.txt file for installation guide and change notices.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
■Keep data cables as short as possible
■Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
■Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Notes :
1. Using Centronics allows for a much higher speed
communication than the use of a serial.
2. It is not necessary to set the switch or send any command
to select the parallel or serial port. The printer can
automatically detect it.
3. The default settings can be read from the configuration report

Thermal paper stock and ribbon will release debris on the print
head and degrade printing quality. Clean the print head with
methanol or isopropyl alcohol with a cotton bud. Do not touch the
heater element with your fingers. Debris or dirt on the roller
should be cleaned with alcohol.
Push
„ Paper Sensor
Debris or dirt on the paper sensor will cause a miss-read or

1. The bare core for ribbon must be 11 cm in length. It should
have two opposite slits at two ends. If the ribbon itself is
less than 11 cm, it has to be aligned with the bare core at left
end when you install it.

2. Since this printer uses band buffer technology, if you just
print texts or barcodes the maximum length can be more
than 30 inches, whereas if you print many graphics the
maximum length can only be few inches under standard
onboard RAM.(The extension RAM, font board and flash
modules use the same connector, they cannot function at
the same time.)

Both the serial port and parallel port of this printer can be activated
at the same time, i.e the printer can simultaneously communicate
with two PC via different port. However as no port contention is
made for this printer, if both PC transmit data at the same time to
this printer, the data may become damaged in the receiving buffer.
