[?: ... ] LCD prompt
cab printers offer the feature that a standard PC keyboard can be connected the printers. It requires
a specific adapter for the usage with Apollo and Hermes printers. A8-200 has this possibility as
standard feature. (AT or PS 2 connectors required for Apollo and Hermes)
A PS2 adapter is built in in A8-200.
Labels, graphics, databases and fonts can be saved on the printer´s optional memory card.
Recalling labels can easily be done trough the attached keyboard (or in the worst case through the
printer´s control panel buttons - which is useful only for easy applications)
The printers allow also for variable input, the prompt on the LC display is defined with this command.
