http://www.shopping....g...3&tab=specsAs far as the Line Cord should be standard You may have to purchase interface cable separately Not too sure what is in the box
If you need some other interface, other than USB you will need an Adapter USB Cable either Parallel RS-232 or Serial depending on what your needs are If it is just matching ro PC, then you need the USB Interface Option + an USB Cable
Now I think some models of this printer has USB as a Standard?? Not sure
USB to Serial Adapter
