INTRODUCTION
The TASC Printer Module has been designed so that it is simple to install and operate and rugged enough to stand up to
normal field usage. The Printer Module provides an easy method for the operator to check the application rates entered
in the TASC Console before starting spraying operations. The printer also provides a convenient written record of the
spraying operation once it is completed. The written record can be retained in an appropriate file for future reference.
The TASC Printer Module is completely self-contained. The Module is enclosed in a molded plastic carrying case. The
case protects the printer mechanism and provides a convenient location to store extra printer paper and ribbon cartridges.
A compact, dot matrix printer is secured to the molded case with high strength velcro fasteners. The velcro keeps the
printer from shifting about in the carrying case, yet allows it to be removed for servicing , if required. Permanently
attached to the carrying case is an interface box with a single, momentary contact, push switch. An interface cable
penetrates the side of the carrying case. The printer itself is attached to the interface box with a short cable inside the
carrying case. When closed, the carrying case measures approximately 12 inches by 8 inches by 4 inches.
The format of the actual printed record depends on the model number of the TASC Console being used. The three
different formats are as follows:
