NOTE:

The Seiko DPU will go wacky once turned on. This is because it is trying to print the little TAG logo and cannot. Turn it off and on again and it should work.

The Seiko DPU 411 is not made anymore. It was superceded by the 414 in 1998. We have a couple in stock as reconditioned units for $300.00 with this cable, power supply, and 4 rolls of paper. Seiko DPU 414 set is $500.00

The SEIKO DPU411 printers we bought over the summer work with the TAG 605. You have to set them for 9600,N,8,1:

1) Turn on, press on line button

2) Turn it off when it starts to print (trying to print TAG logo)

3) Turn on, press on line button

4) Ready when memory message prints after Japanese characters
