3.13 Printer Integration

When designing a kiosk, it is important to consider how the printer will be used, operated,
serviced, integrated with other kiosk components, and integrated into the enclosure itself.
The printer has some basic requirements in order to operate reliably for years. The printer
has some basic requirements in order to operate properly for years. Microcom has a staff
that is committed to helping integrate our products. We will do as much as needed to ensure
that the process goes correctly and smoothly. Reference documents, 3D CAD files and
drawings can be provided.
The general issues are:
 Only trained personnel should have access to, operate, or service the printer.
 Dispense position of the media, top, front or dropped into a tub.
 Mounting of the printer to the kiosk.
 Printer Power Requirements.
 Interface between the host computer and the printer.
 Media Handing – The design of the kiosk should consider the type of media to be
used: roll or fan-fold media; the appropriate media dispensing system; the location of
the media in the kiosk relative to the printer; and the overall size of the media
package (roll diameter or stack height).
 Operator access for loading, cleaning and service.
