Connection cable for POS printers

This six-foot parallel cable links Star Micronics receipt printers to host terminals in retail and hospitality environments. The fixed length suits standard counter layouts where the printer sits close to the till. It is sold new and ready for immediate deployment. The straightforward design supports quick installation without specialised tools.

Suits shops needing a direct parallel link

The cable fits installations that rely on a legacy parallel port for printer communication. It will not serve setups that require USB, serial or network interfaces. Buyers who need a longer run or a different connector type should look at other cables. Environments without a parallel port on the host cannot use this item.

The deciding spec is the six-foot parallel interface

Only systems equipped with a matching parallel port can accept this cable. The 6 ft length and 25-pin configuration fix the maximum separation between printer and terminal. Verify the port type on your equipment before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 ft parallel cable generate any heat or noise when the printer runs all day?

The cable is a passive copper link with no active components, so it produces no heat and makes no noise regardless of how long the printer operates.

What port must the host system already have for this 25-pin parallel cable to connect?

The host needs a standard DB-25 parallel port; the cable plugs directly into that port on one end and the printer's Centronics connector on the other.

Will the 6 ft parallel cable work with a legacy dot-matrix printer that still uses a Centronics interface?

Yes, the cable terminates in a Centronics 36-pin connector, which matches the parallel port on older dot-matrix and receipt printers.
