The A470 comes with two communication interfaces,  RS-232 Serial or 1284 Parallel.  Addi-
tionally, the printer is configured with dual cash drawer ports and a barrel type power coupling. 
The RS-232 interface connector is a RJ45 Female connector and requires a special cable for 
standard PC to printer connections. The 1284 compliant Parallel interface uses a standard 
DB25 Male connector. Two RJ-11 ports provide a unique cash drawer Interface, capable of 
running two cash drawers. All connectors are located on the back of the printer in the order 
listed below.  
Warning: use of  incompatible cables will damage the printer and will void the warranty. 
When purchasing a cash drawer for this product please make sure the vendor is aware 
of the product specifications.  This Cash Drawer Pinout is unique to Pertech Resources 
A470 / DH Technology 4700 series printers.
