The Smart Relay System consists of two printers (primary and 
partner) connected with a serial cable.  Based on the type of data 
sent, the batch prints to the appropriate printer.  The primary printer 
must be a 9855 printer with Version 3.1 or greater firmware using 
MonarchNet2 software.  The partner printer can be a Monarch

 

9855® or 9860

 printer.   

The primary printer forwards the batches, according to the Smart 
Relay configuration.  Use this addendum to configure the Smart Relay 
commands using Telnet.   
Additionally, you can number all the labels in a batch with a collation 
number that prints on every label.  The primary printer controls the 
collation number, according to the Smart Relay configuration. 

Note:

  If you need to turn off either printer, turn off the partner 

printer first, then, turn off the primary printer.  When turning 
on the Smart Relay Printing System always turn on the 
primary printer first, then wait until you see "Smart Relay 
Ready," before turning on the partner printer.
