Chapter 1: About the 7156 Printer

The 7156 printer is a fast, quiet, relatively small and very reliable multiple- function
printer. 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.
With thermal printing technology on the more frequently used receipt station, there is no
ribbon cassette to change and paper loading is extremely simple. Printing on single- or
multiple-part forms, validating checks, and printing checks is also easy in the
accommodating slip station. An additional option is the Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition (MICR) check reader with parsing which reads account numbers on checks for
easy verification. An extended slip table is available for handling large forms and is
standard with the MICR option.
