Cognitive Solutions B780 Manuale Utente

The B780 printer  requires minimal counter space and may be set  
near the host computer. With the RS-232C interface, you can place 
the printer up to 50 feet (for USB interface up to 15 feet) from the 
host computer and power supply.
Do not  place the printer in a dusty environment or anywhere that 
spillage of drinks or other liquids can occur. 
Be sure the printer is on a level surface and that there is enough room 
to open the receipt cover to change the paper and to open the front 
cover to change the impact printer’s ribbon cassette. 

Be sure to leave adequate space at the rear the printer for connecting 
and accessing the cables.
Be sure to locate the printer away from sources of magnetic 
interference. Because the printer may have the optional built-in 
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) check reader, you may 
need to make additional adjustments to the printer’s location. Devices 
such as CRT monitors or large metal surfaces can affect the printer’s 
magnetic field and cause intermittent check reading errors.     

The packing  materials protect the printer and help prevent damage. 
Be sure to save all the packaging materials - including the plastic bag 
and the cardboard supports found in the slip path.

To report any missing materials, or to report a printer that was 
damaged during shipping, call your supplier or contact CognitiveTPG 
using any of the methods shown below.
