CAUTION: The wall mounting bracket must be installed by an insured, qualified, professional installer who is familiar with building construction methods, building materials, building codes, electrical codes, fire codes, and local laws governing public access areas. CAUTION: It is imperative that the wall mounting bracket be securely and permanently mounted to the wall.
Attach the bracket securely to the wall with four or more 6 mm (0.25 in.) diameter fasteners. Use fasteners that are suitable for the type of wall at your site to ensure that the bracket is securely attached to the wall. For walls that are constructed of gypsum wallboard on wood or metal studs, use good-quality medium-capacity or high-capacity hollow-wall anchors.
Installing an optional interface adapter card There is an option slot on the back of the Toshiba TCx Single Station printer that can extend the functionality of the base printer. The optional interface adapter card can be either an Ethernet, WiFi, or RS-232 interface adapter card.
If an optional interface adapter card is included with your order, complete the following steps to install: Turn off the power to your printer. Unplug the power cord from the external power source. Loosen the screw Slide the blank slot cover out of the unit (save the blank slot cover in case you need it in the future).

Connect the printer to a USB host system with the TCx Printer Configuration Utility installed, and then power on the printer (if it has been powered off). Note: The Toshiba 6145 printer will automatically power on when power is applied; therefore, it will already be powered on at this point.
Disconnect the printer from the USB Host system and remove the USB cable unless it is part of the final setup. Note: The TCx Printer Configuration Utility can also be used to perform other configuration tasks. See “Using the TCx Printer Configuration Utility” on page 19 for additional information.
You can setup an RS-232 option using the TCx Printer Configuration Utility or the printer’s offline functions. See “Using the Toshiba POS Virtual Serial Driver” on page 20 or “Using the printer offline functions” on page 20 for instructions on setting up your RS-232 option.
Applications designed to be used with RS-232 printers can use a 6145 USB printer with the Toshiba POS Virtual Serial Driver. The same serial parameters and communication options are available with this driver. Refer to the Toshiba POS Virtual Serial Drivers User's Guide for additional information.

System software (such as drivers and utilities) that support the TCx Printers includes an update process that typically runs when the system is booted (or rebooted). On the first boot after a printer is installed or replaced, and after a configuration package is updated, the attached printer will be configured per the configuration package.
