IrDA Printer Description

Description

General

Bacharach’s portable wireless printer uses infrared technology to commu­nicate with other Bacharach instruments that are capable of transmitting
data using either the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) standard, or HP
protocol.

The printer is designed around a patented easy-loading paper mechanism,
which consists of a main cavity into which a paper roll is dropped for load
ing. The thermal print head is at the front of the cavity and a rubber roller
is attached to the lid of the mechanism. When the lid is closed, the paper is
pinched between the rubber roller and the print head to give a close align­ment and a consistent pressure.

Features

• Wireless printing

• IrDA or HP protocol

• Small, quiet, and fast printing

• Direct line thermal printing

• Easy loading paper

• Easy maintenance and head cleaning

• User setable printer parameters using external pushbuttons

• Self-test function
