2.3 PRINTER SUPPORT
Formatted reports can be generated on the following printers:
1. EPSON 85 dot matrix or compatible (most dot matrix printers will support this format)
2. HP LaserJet or equivalent (Many laser printers will support this format).
For printers that are not compatible with the above printers, select the FILE printer port option in printer setup. This
will send the report to an ASCII print file.
