Housing
The printer module enclosure is made of aluminum. The front panel includes two green LED
indicators and receipt aperture, protected behind a metal lid, see
Figure 4-2 on page 4-2 .
The rear panel includes the printer connector and front panel lock, see Figure 4-3 on page 4-3 .
The printer lock is an electro-mechanic lock (solenoid type) controlled by the station
controller.
Indicators
The printer module includes two green LED indicators located on its front panel and a buzzer.
The printer indicators provide visual and audio display on the following events:
• Printing is in progress
• Paper alerts - paper run out or approximately 25% left (refer to
“General” on page 4-10 )
• Receipt ready
Note: The indicators activation is controlled by the station controller.
The printer also includes LEDs under its front door for monitoring communication.
At turn on, the LEDs and buzzer are activated for a short period of time.
Protection
Two types of protections are included in the printer module:
• Isolation of 1.5 KV DC to protect against galvanic connection between the host side and
printer side.
• The printer side is protected against high voltage transient and lightning by using spark
gaps and transorbs for RS-485 communication. This allows the use of long
communication cables.
