Hello all,
I'm working on a small project where a MicroLogix 1400 will be doing simple batch operations. After every batch, the customer wants us to send a signal to a printer (of our choice) that will print a "ticket" that shows the amount batched, along with the time. The MicroLogix would have to send all the information along with a "print" command via either Ethernet or RS232.
I've never done anything like that before- do any you guys have any recommendations on what printer to use for this, and how involved it might be? I've seen cheap RS232 printers for a few hundred dollars, but if there is a better option with Ethernet, I'd love to know!
Any advice would be appreciated!
