Wiring diagram
The following figure shows the connection between the printer and HMI device.
Note when connecting
NOTICE
Data exchange cables
If you use cables without a metallic netting shield between the HMI device and printer, you
may experience functional problems.
Only use cables with metal-braided shielding grounded at both ends for connecting the HMI
device and printer.
Note
Some printers may require the ASCII character set used in the project to also be defined on
the printer.
You can find the list of current printers and required settings for HMI devices in the Internet
at Printers approved for SIMATIC Panels and Multi Panels
(http://support.automation.siemens.

/WW/view/en/11376409).
Observe the supplied printer documentation when you connect the printer.
