Parallel Printer Connector
The Printer Connector supports several printer models, both dot matrix and ink jet, to
provide printed reports of your weld information, and to provide graphical representation
of your weld results. The tractor feed feature of dot matrix printers is preferred for many
manufacturing applications. If necessary, consult your Branson representative for
recommendations for your specific needs.
The printers listed in
Branson products. Printers that were tested and are NOT compatible are the Panasonic
1091 and Epson LX300. The printer interface uses a standard 36-pin Centronics cable
(Branson printer cable EDP 100-143-043R).
