Re: [AVR-Chat] Thermal printer questions

2006-03-27 by Arif YILMAZ

Hi Erik,
I dont know about your printer but I used LT-286 previously with a PLC ,
It is easy to use, i think there is no graphics available ,
By the way The only problem i had, it was not working without a high 
current supplying power supply,
during startup it drew large current and reset everytime. I used a high 
current power supply  to operate it.
