    About this manual About this manual This manual provides you with all the information you require to ensure that your ND69 Printer operates without a single hitch. It tells you everything you need to do before switching on the printer, how to connect additional devices, and which adjustments might be necessary from time to time to ensure that your ND69 operates reliably.

  • Page 9: Recycling The Nd69 Pos Printer

    KG guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in a Recycling Center, which is certified according to ISO 9001. So don’t just throw your ND69 on the scrap heap when it has served its time. Make use of our environmentally sound and up-to-date recycling methods! The operation of your printer also generates waste material that should be disposed of in an ecologically sound manner.

  • Page 15: Compatibility

    Compatibility Compatibility The combined controller is executed in such a way that the ND69 - depending on the position of two DIP switches (see Chapter DIP Switches) - either works in the ND69 mode, is compatible with the BEETLE/60 printer or with the EPSON-TM930 printer and thus understands the control characters and sequences that apply in each case.

    Customer Display The customer display is connected to the serial interface. The interface connection on the ND69 is a 9-pin D-sub connector. To prevent possible malfunctions, make sure that the connector for the customer display is plugged firmly into the socket. The power is supplied via this jack.
