Data Cable Requirements
Data cables must be fully shielded 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.
• Do not bundle the data cables tightly with the power cords.
• Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Note •
The parallel connection on your printer is not operational when one of these print
servers is installed. Wireless and external wired print servers plug directly into the printer’s
parallel port. Internal print servers include a mounting bracket that covers the parallel port.
Note •
Zebra printers comply with FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 15 for Class B
Equipment using fully shielded, 6.5 ft. (2 m) data cables. Use of unshielded cables may
increase radiation above the Class B limits.
