As you all might already know, the TA300 uses a USB cable instead of the traditional TCP/IP or RS232/485 cable. The type of USB cable used for communication is called the Standard-B plug.
The Standard-B plug cable has a square shape with bevelled exterior corners. The cable is plugged into the "upstream receptacle" on a device that uses a removable cable, most noticeably for printers. On some devices, the Type B receptacle has no data connections, being used solely for accepting power from the upstream device. This two-connector-type scheme (A/B) prevents a user from accidentally creating an electrical loop.
Below are some informative solutions for troubleshooting TA300:
