Choose a location for printer with imaging
The B780 printer with an imaging unit requires very
little counter space and may be set on or near the host
computer. With the RS-232C interface, you can place the
printer up to 50 feet from the host computer and power
supply, and 15 feet with a USB interface. Try to protect
the printer from getting dusty, and make sure it is safe
from having coke or coee spilled on it.
Place the printer with an imaging module on a
level surface, and make sure there is enough room,
approximately 11 inches high, 20 inches long, and 9-14
inches wide, to open the receipt cover to change the
paper, to open the front cover to change the impact
printer’s ribbon cassette, or open the imager cover to
clear a jam.
Be sure to leave enough space behind the printer to
access the cables.
If the printer has a built in Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition (MICR) check reader, you may need to make
additional adjustments to the printer’s location.
Devices such as computer monitors or large metal
surfaces can aect the printer’s magnetic eld and cause
intermittent check reading errors. Be sure to place the
printer away from sources of interference.
