v Long Cash Drawer Cable, P/N 72H3803
The SureMark models can be divided into three groups:
v Models TI1 and TI2 – models that can no longer be ordered. Because these are
not currently being manufactured, they do not support some functions that are on
the current models.
v Models TI3, TI4, TI8, TG3, and TG4 – Models with a thermal print station for
customer receipts and an impact print station for document processing. These
models are currently being manufactured.
v Model TI8 additionally has document scanning.
v Models TF6 and TM6 – Models with only a thermal print station for customer
receipts.

Differences among Models TI1, TI2, TI3, TI4, TI8, TG3, and TG4

v Different microcode is required to operate each of the following groups of
printers:
– Models TI1 and TI2
– Models TI3, TI4, TG3, and TG4
– Models TI3, TI4, TG3, and TG4 with the 2-MB card option
– Models TI3, TI4, TG3, and TG4 with the 8-MB card option
v Total amount of data space available for the download of graphic messages is
65 376 bytes for Models TI1 and TI2, but only 65 136 bytes for Models TI3, TI4,
TG3, and TG4. Model TI8 has from 0 KB to 1 MB, user allocatable.
v Memory allocated to store incoming commands and data is 16K for Models TI3,
TI4, TI8, TG3, and TG4 but only 4K for Models TI1 and TI2).
v Models TI3, TI4, TI8, TG3, and TG4 operate at higher speeds than Models TI1
and TI2.
v Code page 858, which contains the euro character symbol, is resident in Models
TI3, TI4, TI8, TG3, and TG4. Code page 850, which contains all character
symbols from code page 858 excluding the euro character symbol, is resident in
Models TI1 and TI2.
v The second byte of the device ID specifies what model of SureMark is being
used. The 4690 OS uses the printer model to determine the name of the
microcode update file:
– ADXPJPUF.DAT for Models TI1 and TI2
– ADXPJPFF.DAT for Models TI3, TI4, TG3, and TG4
– ADXPJP2F.DAT for Models TI3, TI4, TG3, and TG4 with the 2-MB card option
– For microcode update information for the Model TI8, see the IBM Retail Store
Solutions Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/solutions/retail/store.
Differences between Models TI3, TI4, TI8, TG3, TG4, and Models
TF6, TM6
Models TF6 and TM6 are single-station thermal printers. These models do not
include an impact station. Therefore they cannot be used for any of the check
handling that thermal/impact SureMark Models TI3, TI4, TI8, TG3, and TG4 support.
