Choosing a Location
The 7156 printer takes up relatively little counter space and may be set on or near the host
computer. Make sure there is enough room to open the receipt cover to change the paper
and to open the front cover to change the ribbon cassette. The illustration shows the actual
dimensions of the printer, but leave several inches around the printer for connecting and
accessing the cables.
Note:
The optional Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) check reader feature has
been factory adjusted for a normal operating environment with a host computer. However,
additional devices, such as CRT monitors, or large metal surfaces that are near the printer
can affect the printer’s magnetic field, causing intermittent reading errors when the MICR
check reader is in operation.
This condition can be easily diagnosed by checking the MICR check reader adjustment
which allows you to reset the MICR check reader if the factory setting has been altered by
your operating environment. See “Adjusting the MICR Check Reader” later in this book.

Setting Switches
The DIP switches, located behind the front cover, are used for three purposes:
•
To set communication parameters for the RS-232C communication interface (see the
switch settings on the next page)
•
To set variables for several printer functions (see the sections for the various printer
functions in “Level 1 Diagnostics” in “Chapter 4: Diagnostics” for the switch settings)
•
To perform diagnostic tests (see the sections for the various diagnostic tests in “Level 1
Diagnostics” in “Chapter 4: Diagnostics” for the switch settings)
Caution:
The DIP switches are set at the factory to predetermined settings and should
generally not be changed. If you must change the settings do so carefully to avoid
changing other functions.
Before changing any of the switches, first run the print test to print out the current switch
settings on the receipt. See “Testing the Printer” at the end of this chapter for instructions
on running the print test and for a sample printout.
