Introducing the A758 Printer
The A758 is an extremely fast, quiet, and reliable point-of-sale printer.
It consists of two specialized printers in one compact package: a thermal
printer on top that prints receipts, and an impact slip printer in front to print
on forms and checks that you insert. The thermal printer is optimized for
ease-of-use in busy environments. There is no ribbon or ink cartridge to
change, and you load the paper by simply dropping in a new roll. The impact
printer provides the power and flexibility necessary to print on checks or
multi-part forms up to five plies, in a wide variety of sizes
and orientations.
Unpacking the Printer
Save all packing materials in case you need to repack the printer. Check that
the materials shipped with the printer match the following list.
The following items are packed in the shipping box (printers shipped in
bulk may not include all of these items):
•
Printer enclosed in a plastic bag and foam pack
•
Thermal receipt paper roll (inside receipt bucket)
•
Test printout protecting the printhead (inside receipt bucket)
•
Cardboard support for cantilever (on slip table)
•
Foam restraint for carriage (behind front cover)
•
Power supply with cable connecting to printer and power supply cord
connecting to power outlet (only if ordered with the printer)
•
Ribbon cassette
•
Installation report card (please complete this form and return to
Axiohm)
•
A758 Thermal Receipt and Impact Slip Printer: Setup Guide (this book)
•
Communication cable, if ordered with the printer (from host computer
to printer)
To report any missing materials, or to report a printer that was damaged
during shipping, call your supplier or call an Axiohm representative at
1-800-732-8950.
Choosing a Location
Place the printer on a level surface, and make sure 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. Leave several inches around the
printer for connecting and accessing the cables.
Note: If your printer has an optional Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition (MICR) check reader installed, you may need
to make additional adjustments to the printer’s location.
Because devices such as CRT monitors, security devices, or
large metal surfaces affect the printer’s magnetic field, they
can cause intermittent check reading errors.
