The E-Class Mark III printer (hereafter referred to as “the printer”) is user-friendly thermal printing device
that blends quality and durability in an affordable package to meet all of your labeling needs. This manual
provides the information necessary to operate and maintain the printer.
To begin printing labels or tags, refer to the instructions included with your software labeling program. For
your convenience, a Windows printer driver can be found on the Accessories CD-ROM, or it can be
downloaded from our website at http://www.datamax-oneil.com

Professional + modules equipped with the Key Lock Option also include a built-in Kensington
Security Slot with a metal backing plate. The Kensington slot allows you to physically secure
the printer from being stolen by tethering it to a larger object like a desk or counter. There
are many security solutions offered by Kensington that are compatible with the slot.
Visit http://www.kensington.com
The Kensington Security Slot has been the industry standard since 1990, giving customers the
best option for physical security of computer and electronic equipment.

2.2.1 Power Connections
The printer is powered by an external auto-ranging power supply, which connects between the printer and an
electrical outlet. Ensure that the operating ranges of the power supply are compatible with your electrical
service, (see Appendix A for details) then connect power as follows:

Ethernet Port
USB Port
Serial Port
USB Host Port
Parallel Port
Cable Requirements
Choose the correct cable when interfacing the printer to the host:
The Parallel Port (optional) supports parallel communications via a 36-pin male mini-Centronics
connector. Bi-directional communications (forward and reverse channels) is supported when an IEEE
1284 compliant cable and supporting host software is used.
The Ethernet Port supports Wired LAN communications (see Appendix B for information).
The Serial Port supports RS-232C communications via a DB-9 connector with specif ic pin-outs
(interface cable part numbers and pin-outs are given below; contact your reseller to order). Serial port
settings are menu-selectable and must match the host settings.
Part # 32-2483-01
Part # 32-2301-01
The USB Port supports high-speed serial communications and requires a standard USB interface
cable.
The USB Host Port (optional). The USB Host Port allows the printer to accept external USB memory
devices for storing graphics, label formats, fonts, and firmware. The port can also accept an USB
keyboard for standalone, direct data (Line mode) input applications; see the Programmer’s Manual for
more information on how to utilize the port.
The printer automatically establishes communications with the first port through which valid data is
received. Afterward, a timeout period must be exceeded (or power must be cycled OFF and ON) to change
the established communications port.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my label printer not turning on?
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into both the printer and a power outlet. Check that the outlet is functioning properly by testing it with another device. If the issue persists, check if the power switch on the printer is in the “on” position.
How can I load label stock into the printer?

What should I do if the labels are not feeding properly?
