Version
IPP 144-40 GE
The basic version IPP 144-40 G provides one serial interface
capable of receiving only. Return (handshake) messages to
the sender are sent via hardware line. Texts and measuring
values to be printed must be transmitted from the sender device
since the basic version does not have an internal text memory.
It is possible to print with the basic version bitmap image and
barcodes. The bitmap image files and the barcode files are
generated with printer control commands in a terminal emulation
program.These files are transmitted by Interface I to the printer.
