7156 Setup and User’s Guide Chapter 1: The 7156 Printer The 7156 printer is a fast, quiet, and very reliable multiple function printer. Relatively small, it is easy to setup and use. It prints receipts, validates and prints checks, and prints on a variety of single- or multiple-part forms. There is no journal as it is kept electronically by the host computer. -

The industry-standard RS-232C communication interface allows the 7156 to be connected to any host computer that uses RS-232C. Control codes are provided for easy migration of applications written for Epson as well as other NCR printers.
