The primary printer

must be a 9855 printer using MonarchNet2 software

can have only one partner

connects to the partner printer using a serial cable. You cannot use the optional external keyboard with the primary printer.

Note: There is no bi-directional communication between the primary and partner printers.

For maximum efficiency, the primary printer should print the majority of the supplies. If you print more RFID supplies than non-RFID supplies, make the RFID printer the primary printer. This reduces the amount of data transferred to the partner printer and requires less processing by the primary printer.
