Before attempting a USB connection the printer must first be configured to use the desired USB class. Set
the printer to appropriate USB class for your particular application by using the NETira
™
CT Printer
Configuration Utility.
The default setting is “Composite (CDC/Printer Class).”
1) Turn the printer ON and connect it to the
computer using the USB cable.
Refer to
Section 3.3 - Establishing Printer
Connection.
2) Install and Open the NETira
™
CT Printer
Configuration Utility application on your PC
(see Section 3.4 for more information). This
configuration utility can be downloaded from
our website.
3) Query the printer by using the “Update
Available Connection For Printer.” This will
look for the “USB Virtual COM Port.” Once it
is completed, reopen the dropdown menu

check “Click on Settings” and select the COM
port that is assigned to the Datamax-O’Neil
