Section 1 System Description
Cabling Requirements
Data cables must be fully shielded and fitted with metal or metallized connector shells.
Shielded cables and connectors are required to prevent radiation and reception of electrical
noise.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
• Keep data cables as short as possible.
• Do not bundle the data cables tightly with the power cords.
• Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Cable Connections
Parallel Data Port
Refer to Figure 1-5.
When communicating via the parallel port, refer to page 1-14 to configure the
communication parameters for the printer.
Figure 1-5. Parallel Data Port
Note • Zebra printers comply with FCC “Rules and Regulations,” Part 15,
Subpart J, for Class A Equipment, using fully shielded 6′ (2 m) data cables. Use
of longer cables or unshielded cables may increase radiated emissions above
the Class A limits.
RS-422 and RS-485 applications should use twisted shielded pairs as
recommended in the TIA/EIA-485 specifications.
