When connecting multiple instances of this machine to a single computer with a USB cable, you must change the USB number of each machine so that the computer can distinguish between output destinations. The machine's default setting is "A." When connecting two or more machines, the second machine and every machine thereafter must be configured with a setting other than "A" so that the machine can distinguish the output destination of the data.
