PRINTING ON FORMS

VALIDATING A FORM

The Series 90PLUS Printer can print on inserted forms in two ways by:
Inserting the form in the top of the printer, referred to as validation, which
allows up to 17 lines of print on a form, or
Inserting the form in the front of the printer, referred to as slip printing,
which allows many more lines of print on a form.
Validation and slip printing are described in the following two sections.
Forms can be validated with either a single line or multiple lines of
information. Depending on the host system and software used, either the host
system or the printer controls the procedure. In most cases, the only difference
is whether you are prompted by the host system or the printer.
Validation Controlled by the Host System
When the host system controls the validation procedure, the area on the printer
where forms are inserted is opened by the host.
1. The host system indicates that a form is to be inserted for validation.
2. Insert the form into the printer.
3. The host system closes the validation clamp and prints on the form.
When printing is complete, the host releases the form.
4. Remove the form.
