Connecting the Printer to the Host
The KR403 printer has a Universal Serial Bus (USB), an RS232 Serial port interface, and
an Ethernet interface.
Caution • Keep the kiosk OFF when attaching the interface cable. The power cord must
be inserted into the power supply and the power receptacle on the back of the printer
before connecting or disconnecting the communications cables.
Caution • This printer complies with FCC “Rules and Regulations,” Part 15, for Class B
Equipment, using fully shielded data cables. Use of un-shielded cables may increase
radiated emissions above the Class B limits.
Interface Cable Requirements
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction 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 (6 foot [1.83 m] recommended).
• Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
• Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
• Avoid fluorescent lighting and power supply components.
USB Interface Requirements
Universal Serial Bus (version 2.0 compliant) provides a fast interface that is compatible
with your existing PC hardware. USBs “plug and play” design makes installation easy.
Multiple printers can share a single USB port/hub.
Additionally, the USB cable should include a ferrite located at the end of the cable closest
to the host computer. This is to prevent any electrical noise generated by the printer from
affecting the host computer.
