- Donna,
-
- We've been using MAGNETEC 60 column dot matrix printers for our
- Touchscreen Kiosks. It's rather simple to use, but imposing to view!
- Simply pass a file to the printer and it'll do the work. You need to
- indicate when you're finished and the printer will automatically cut
- the paper and feed it to the user. We use a 6" roll of paper and get
- thousands of print requests! An optional 8" roll is available.
- Special control codes allow for a variety of print styles and graphics
- though the graphics are a bit of a pain to do on this printer.
- With our software we're able to pickup status codes from the printer
- to indicate its success or not. This is handy when the printer
- runs out of paper.
-
- For more info, try contacting:
- Magnetec Corp. 61 West Dudleytown Road, Bloomfield, CT 06002
- (203) 243-8941.
