Re: [Digital BW] USB cable length

2002-08-14 by MARK MAIO

In my haste of reading through the manual quickly, I missed the caveat of an "unshielded" cable of over 6 1/2 feet causing printing problems. It did not
specify what the problems would be, but I guess if the cable is shielded, there shouldn't be any problems.

Thanks,
Mark Maio
