The impact station print zone on the A760 is 4.7 inches wide and the print zone on the A776 is 3.0 inches. To compensate for the narrower print zone on the A776 the firmware will provide the following functionality:

1.For applications that currently use narrow forms with 42 or fewer columns, an option is provided to delete x leading spaces. No application or form changes should be required.

2.For applications that use narrow forms with 51 or fewer columns, an option is provided to default to compressed mode. No application or form changes should be required.

3.For applications using wide forms that print on less than 51 columns, options 1 and 2 above are combined with the option to delete trailing spaces. There should be no changes required to the application but a new form will be required.

4.For applications using wide forms that print on more than 51 columns, the data will wrap to the next line. If you don’t want data to wrap you will need to change the application and the form.

See Chapter 4: Programming the Printer for more details about the slip print zones.

Some commands have new functions for the slip and can be configured to be enabled or disabled on the slip. Existing applications that use these functions on the receipt but not on the slip may need to be disabled manually for the slip. The default is disabled for the slip.
