Chapter 1: The 7156 Printer 7156 Setup and User’s Guide

The industry-standard RS-232C communication interface allows the 7156 to be connected to any host computer that uses RS-232C. Control codes are provided for easy migration of applications written for Epson as well as other NCR printers.

With thermal printing technology on the more frequently used receipt station, there is no ribbon cassette to change and paper loading is extremely simple. Printing on single- or multiple-part forms, validating checks, and printing checks is also easy in the accommodating slip station. An additional option is the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) check reader with parsing which reads account numbers on checks for easy verification. An extended slip table is available for handling large forms and is standard with the MICR check reader option.
