energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC WARNING
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
For compliance with the Federal Noise Interference Standard, this equipment requires a shielded cable.
For RF interference suppression, if a ferrite core is provided with this device, ax it to the interface cable.
is statement will be applied only for the printers marketed in U.S.A.

To connect the cable, follow the procedure given below.
①Make sure that the AC adapter’s power cord is not connected to the outlet.
②Connect the cable connector of the cash drawer or other device to the drawer kick connector on the rear of the
DK-AirCash.
Note: Do not connect a telephone line to the drawer kick connector. Doing so can cause this product to malfunction.
Also, for safety reasons, do not connect a wire that can carry excessive voltage to the drawer kick connector.
3-2. Connecting the Ethernet Interface Cable ( When Using a Wired LAN Model )
Note: Make sure the Dip switch 1-1 is on.
①Make sure that the AC adapter’s power cord is not connected to the outlet.
②Insert the Ethernet cable plug into the Ethernet connector.
3-2-1. Resetting Ethernet Settings
The IP Address, Administrator login pass word, and other settings can be reset by following the procedure given be-
low.
①Make sure that the AC adapter’s power cord is not connected to the outlet.
②Unplug the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet connector.
③DSW1-4 O, connect the AC adapter, turn the power On.
④When initialization is nished, the DK-AirCash's POWER and ERROR lamps ashes.

g Link disconnection detection feature
The Ethernet interface model is equipped with a link disconnection detection feature.
If the printer is turned on when an Ethernet cable is not connected to it, the POWER and ERROR lamps are
simultaneously turned on and o at 4-second intervals to indicate the disconnection. Be sure to connect the Ethernet
cable from a PC or hub to the printer, and then turn the printer on.
If the IP address is not recognized correctly, the POWER and ERROR lights continue to ash simultaneously every 0.25
seconds indicating that the link is broken. After setting the correct IP address, restart the printer.

3-3. Bluetooth Settings (For Bluetooth Models only)
Pair the printer with the master device by following the procedure below.
Note1: Make sure the Dip switch 1-1 is on.
2: Please pay attention to your external environments to secure the pairing of DK-AirCash with the specied mas-
ter device.
3-3-1. Pairing using SSP (Simple Secure Pairing) [Default]
①After turning the DK-AirCash's power switch on, press and hold the PAIR button for 5 seconds or more, and then release
it. The LED will ash green.
②Pairing will be possible for 60 seconds from when the LED begins ashing green. During this time, perform pairing
from the master device.
Device name: Star Micronics (default)
③After performing pairing, wait until the LED stops ashing blue, or turn the DK-AirCash o and back on again, to enable
the connection. With some master devices, after pairing, the LED will automatically begin ashing blue, and the printer
will be automatically connected.
④Conrm the connection by operating from the master device application.
3-3-2. Pairing using PIN code
Enter the following information in the master device if it does not support SSP, or when otherwise necessary.
PIN Code: 1234 (default)
Device name: Star Micronics (default)
Note: It is recommended that you change the PIN code for greater security.
Use the exclusive setting utility to the PIN code settings.
For more information about setting utility, refer to the following website.
http://www.star-m.jp/eng/dl/dl02.htm
3-3-3. Resetting Bluetooth Settings
The PIN code, device name, and other settings can be reset by following the procedure given below.
①Make sure that the AC adapter’s power cord is not connected to the outlet.
②DSW1-3 O, connect the AC adapter, turn the power On.
③When the initialization starts, the DK-AirCash's POWER and ERROR lamps ashes.
④When initialization is nished, the POWER and ERROR lamps stops ashing.
⑤Turn the power O, unplug the AC adapter's power code, DSW1-3 On.
⑥Delete the pairing settings of the paired device.
⑦Restart the paired device or terminate the application.
