Connections
Cabling and Cable Routing
Always tie cable down, use locking connectors where possible, allow for kiosk component
servicing, and avoid electrical noise sources.
• Tie all cables to the kiosk chassis or printer mounting hardware that are near the
printer, the media path or media. The operator can accidentally disconnect the printer
or other kiosk components when maintaining the kiosk. Cabling must not interfere with
the proper operation of the printer and media. The operator can become caught on
cabling and drop heavy media damaging the kiosk or hurting themselves.
• Service Loops - There should be enough slack in the cabling to not put pressure on
the cable connectors or the circuit boards. Also enough slack is needed to disconnect
the printer (or their kiosk components) for servicing. Allow for movement needed to
access the cable locks or slide the printer out when using the Quick-fit hubs.
• Avoid electrical noise sources: fluorescent lighting and ballast, power supplies, fans,
AC power lines, CRT monitors, etc.
• Avoid twisting power and communication cables together. This can cause spurious
noise on the communication port or raise emissions levels.
Large Media Roll Adapter Accessory
The large media roll adapter accessory adds an additional 10cm to the front of the printer.
It is therefore necessary to route cables differently when using this acessory. See "Routing
Cables with the Large Media Roll Adapter" on page 84 for additional information.
