ESP-12 and Serial Communication

Hi all,

I am trying to familiarize with the simplest configuration of the esp8266 by using the esp12e version and I am facing an issue with the serial communication.
What I do not get is why can I use Serial.print() when the esp12 is soldered to the nodemcu development board and I cannot when directly interfacing with an usb/serial converter (soldering the wires and so on)
Do you know how to do?
Please let me know if it is not clear

Many thanks for your help

the converter can't supply enough current on 3.3 V pin.
