Planning Information

Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for replenishing consumable supplies, including roll paper for the thermal (customer receipt station) printer, and, depending on your model, forms and ribbon cartridges for the impact (document insert) station. (See Appendix A, “Consumable Supplies”.)

The customer must load the appropriate DBCS fonts in the printer.

 

If you plan to use RS-232 communications, you are responsible for ordering a 24 V

 

dc power supply with a power cord. You are also responsible for ordering the

 

RS-232 cable.

 

Note: If a 3-wire RS-232 cable is to be used, the printer must be set to XON/XOFF

 

mode. (See “RS-232 Communications Protocol Selection” on page 23.)

It is the customers responsibilities to update printer firmware as needed prior to

installing printers and as desired during the printer’s life.
