The S-Series Printer, when connected to an appropriate ASCII data source, functions as a complete label, ticket, and tag printing system. Customer- supplied asynchronous modems may be used to connect remote hosts to the S-Series Printer.
Connection of the S-Series Printer to data sources using data codes other than ASCII requires the use of an appropriate protocol converter.
Connection to data sources using interfaces other than the type installed in the printer requires the use of an appropriate interface converter.

The S-Series Printer comes with either an Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data interface or a factory-installed parallel interface. In both cases, the required interface cable is not supplied with the printer.

Command/control data signals are received via the RS-232 port, parallel port, or DIP switches and are sent to the main logic board. The microprocessor continuously monitors these signals along with the inputs received from the control panel and various sensors. The microprocessor interprets this information and controls the S-Series Printer’s mechanics, printhead, communications, command interpretation, label formatting, media control, and mechanical drive.

The print mechanism has been designed to print random information labels, tickets, and tags. It uses a thermal printhead that heats a ribbon as it passes beneath the print elements, melting its ink onto the media (direct thermal uses heat-sensitive media instead of an inked ribbon). Constant print speeds may be selected via software control.
