Registering a Different Machine

IMPORTANT
  • Configure the connection settings one machine at a time. Be sure to connect only the machine to be configured. Simultaneously connecting multiple machines with the same ID may lead to the computer shutting down or it being impossible to install the driver.
  • Use the included USB cable.
  • If you will connect a conversion cable, separately prepare a USB cable whose total length, including the length of the conversion cable, is 3 m (118.11 in.) or less. A longer total cable length may lead to malfunctions.
  • Do not use a USB hub. Connection may not be possible.
