Precautions when connecting to a TM printer
When the DM-D500 is connected to a TM printer, be sure to check the serial
number on the label affixed to the rear or bottom of the TM printer. If the serial
number is one of the numbers indicated below it can be used immediately. If
the serial number is not listed below, however, the DM-D500 cannot be
connected to the TM printer as it is. In this case, please purchase and install the
latest model of the UB-S01 board (Part code: C8233610200) before using the
DM-D500 with that printer.
If your TM or other printer is not listed below, it may be connected to the DM-
D500 without any special modifications (continued on back).
*1: If your printer is a TM-H5000, always purchase the latest model of the UB-S01 before using it with
the DM-D500.
If an old model of the UB-S01 (Part code: C8233610000)is connected to the
TM printer, please purchase and install the latest model of the UB-S01 board
(Part code: C8233610200).
The TM printer and UB-S01 used with the DM-D500 will have one of the
following markings on the RS-232C connector mounting plate. This marking
indicates whether of not the printer can be connected to the DM-D500.
