Migrating from the A721 (7221) printer to the B780
The B780 printer is a two station hybrid thermal/impact printer with feature enhancements designed to provide the
most desirable options to the customer. This section is provided for those customers who would like to migrate from
their existing CognitiveTPG printers to the B780 printer, while maintaining as much continuity as possible in the new
application. Several commands exist to support such a migration. The primary differences are described below:
A721 (7221) to B780:
A721: impact receipt B780: thermal receipt
A721: no paper cutter (knife) B780: paper cutter (knife)
A721: monochromatic printing B780: two-color printing on receipt
A721: no audible tone B780: audible tone
