Chapter 3: Migrating to A776 and B780

Migrating from existing CognitiveTPG printers

The A776 printer is the fourth generation two station hybrid thermal/impact printer with feature enhancements designed to provide the most desirable options to the customer. This section is provided for those customers who would like to migrate from their existing CognitiveTPG printers to the A776 printer, while maintaining as much continuity as possible in the new application. This includes migration from the A756, A758 and the A760 printers. Several commands exist to support such a migration. The primary differences are described below:

A756 to A776:
A756: 6 dots/mm thermal printhead	A776: 8 dots/mm printhead
A756: wide slip station (66 columns)	A776: narrow (42 columns) slip station
A756: no top validation of forms	A776: top validation of forms
A756: monochromatic printing	A776: two-color printing
A758 to A776:
A758: wide slip station (66 columns)	A776: narrow (42 columns) slip station
A758: no top validation of forms	A776: top validation of forms
A758: monochromatic printing	A776: two-color printing
A760 to A776:
A760: wide slip station (66 columns)	A776: narrow (42 columns) slip station
A760: no top validation of forms	A776: top validation of forms
A721 to B780
A721: monochrome printing	B780: two color printing
A721: journal printing	B780: electronic journal
A721: impact receipt	B780: thermal receipt
