1.2. INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINTER
The IER 560 COMBO Printer is designed to print ATB1 size
coupons, bag tags, credit card size tickets, as well as receipts.
The IER 560 COMBO Printer uses the Direct Thermal printing
technology in order to produce high quality print results. This
technology requires the use of heat-sensitive or thermal print media,
i.e. media that reacts to heat.
With its 203 dpi print resolution, the IER 560 COMBO Printer is able
to print text, logos, and barcodes.
Continuous feeding of blank boarding pass (ATB1) or bag tag media
takes place through the rear of the printer, triggered by simple
detection of the media.
The form of media stock can either be fanfold (packed in boxes) or
rolls.
Due to the four configurable paper-feeding channels, printing a
document of one size (ATB) and then a different one (bag tag) is
accomplished automatically without requiring any user adjustments.
The IER 560 COMBO Printer automatically verifies the document
size. Each document size is associated with the corresponding
cutting or bursting feature of the separation device. Depending on
the detected document size, the cutting and bursting device acts
differently:
For perforated media, the bursting feature is activated
for continuous media, cutting is performed
The printer is also equipped with a document ejection/document
holder system. Long documents, such as bag tags, are held back in
the output slot until removed by the user.
