Cable Installation
Printek provides two optional cables to assist in installation – an RS-232
cable to be connected to a standard 9-pin serial connection on a PC, or a
USB cable. Each cable also provides a pigtail connection for power.
When using Printek cables, the Red labeled wire in the power cable may
be connected to a 12-24 VDC source and the Black wire is to be connected
to vehicle ground. The printer’s power input is internally fused, but may
be connected to a fused circuit that is capable of providing at least A.
If not using a Printek cable, the printer connections are defined in the
following table.
