Choose a location
The A760 printer takes up relatively little counter space
and may be set on or near the host computer. With the
RS-232C interface, you can place the printer up to 50 feet
(with the USB interface up to 15 feet) from the host
computer and power supply.
Place the printer on a level surface, and make sure there is
enough room to open the receipt cover to change the paper
and to open the front cover to change the impact printer’s
ribbon cassette. Leave several inches around the printer
for connecting and accessing the cables.

If the printer has an optional Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition (MICR) check reader installed, you may
need to make additional adjustments to the printer’s
location.
Because devices such as CRT monitors or large metal
surfaces affect the printer’s magnetic field, they can
cause intermittent check reading errors.
