General Description

All SureMark printers print the customer receipt using the thermal printhead. For SureMark printers that include a document insert station, documents are printed using the impact head. No SureMark printer contains a journal print station.

Thermal printing occurs by placing a heating element against a thermally sensitive paper. By energizing the elements, dots are formed. Thermal printers print dot rows horizontally across the page – 576 dots make up a single dot row across the paper. Printing continues row by row until the entire character is formed.

Impact printing utilizes a standard ballistic printhead. Each wire is fired against an inked ribbon which places a dot on the paper.

SureMark printers contain all the circuitry, processing hardware, and software for operating a thermal and, except for models TF7 and TM7, an impact printer mechanism. SureMark printers do not contain a power supply. However, they do contain voltage conversion circuitry to allow connection to a standard IBM system interface or to an RS-232 24-volt power supply. (See “Power Requirements” on page 8 for specific power supply specifications.)

Specifications

The information in the Document Insert Station column of Table 8 on page 78 applies only to SureMark Models TI5 and TG5. There is no document insert station on models TF7 and TM7.
