The printer can be connected to a PC or a handheld device using a USB cable. Before connecting the
printer to your host device, the type (or class) of USB connection must be determined. There are three (3)
classes of USB connections that are supported:
! CDC (Communication Device Class, virtual COM port via emulated RS-232)
! Printer Class (Typical Windows
®
Printer)
! Composite Class (CDC + Printer Class)
Whenever possible, it is recommended to use the Composite Class, as it gives the most flexibility.
However, on some systems (e.g., handheld devices) CDC or Printer Class alone should be selected, as
handheld devices have limited support.
