Connect CLS700 to PC
This article shows how to Connect your CLS700 to PC or a laptop and turn it on. The CL-S700 printer is a main part of our Premier Series, one of our core number plate printing solutions.
Simply follow this guide and ensure the power is turned off on both your printer and computer. Before powering on, ensure your work area meets our recommended operational conditions for printing number plates. And an extra setup step is required when connecting to your network for the first time or via LAN.
Connect Mains Power
The mains power lead connects at the rear of your printer
Check the mains power switch is turned off and the connect the power cord to the rear of the printer, then put the plug into a mains socket. Next connect the printer to your PC, the interface port for USB cables can be found on the rear left hand side, opposite the power port.
Connect to PC
Printer USB cables connect into the square port
We recommend using USB to connect your CLS7001 to a PC. As a result, we set up our number plate systems this way by default. Just insert your USB cable into the bottom left port as shown. The cable has two ends, but only one will fit into the back of the printer. The other end of the cable, will need inserting into a spare USB port on your computer.
Power Up
Turn on your computer after the printer
Once you’re happy the cables are all securely connected, turn on the mains power first. Now toggle the printers power switch on the front below the control panel, and then turn the PC on. By the time your computer reaches the Windows desktop the printer should be ready and you can start production or loading a roll.
