USB cable
Unlike the other connections, the USB cable may be attached and detached
while the system is operating.
Using the USB connector with the printer requires that you install the
TPG, Inc. USB driver appropriate for your system. If you are replacing
a USB-equipped TPG, Inc. printer, you may not need to reinstall the driver.

Printer end
of USB Cable
To install the USB cable:
1Open the connector cover at the rear of the printer.
2Attach the USB cable to the USB connector, shown at
the left above (A). Don’t plug the USB cable into the
cash drawer connector (B) by mistake! Doing so may
damage the printer. The USB symbol should face up
when inserted into the port. Make sure the connection
is snug.
3Route the cable through the strain relief on the
connector cover (see the “Cable routing” section
which follows on page 22).
4Connect the cable to the USB port in the host
computer. Again, make sure the USB symbol on the
connector is face up when you plug it into the port.
After you have completed setting up the printer, you
can install the USB driver on the host computer.
Download the USB driver to the host computer from the
TPG, Inc. corporate Web site at http://
www.TPGprinters.com. Downloads can be found in the
