1.1 Overview
This section describes the product and its intrinsecal main characteristics..
1.2 Scope of the Product
The product is intended to satisfy most of the counter applications in a ergonomic environment.
It is designed for versatile and reliable paper handling.
A specialized flat-bed mechanism allows paper to be fed without bending: in this way special documents, such as
multiple invoices, postcards, labels, tickets can be trouble-free printed.
1.3 Main Features
The following points put in evidence the main features of this product.
• Printing on a wide range of paper media: different types of cut sheets, multi-parts and passbooks.
• High print pressure for multi-parts documents
• High print quality supplied by a 24 wire print head
• High reliability paper handling
The straight paper path allows the printing on particular documents such as envelopes, multipart forms and
passbooks.
• Automatic paper thickness adjustment
The print head detects automatically the paper thickness for correct printing on any type of document. This printer
can print also on documents with a variable thickness, such as passbooks.
• Easy paper handling
The operator places the paper on the front table and the printer loads it without any other user intervention. The
paper ejection towards the front or the rear of the printer allows an easy access to the printed document.
• Automatic document alignment feature
The printer checks automatically the alignment of the top margin and the left margin of the document and adjusts
it, if necessary. The printout is therefore performed correctly independently from the paper loading position.
• Storage of two complete configurations for instant recall
• Standard parallel and serial interface and automatic switch-over function. The financial interface is available for
the IBM 4722 and the IBM 9068 protocols.
• Optional LAN 10/100BaseT or USB interface.
