Using the Smart Relay System 5-1
USING THE SMART RELAY
SYSTEM
The Smart Relay System consists of two printers (primary and
partner) connected with a serial cable. Based on the type of data
sent, the batch prints to the appropriate printer. The primary printer
must be a 9855 printer with Version 3.1 or greater firmware using
MonarchNet2 software. The partner printer can be a Monarch
9855® or 9860 printer.
The primary printer forwards the batches, according to the Smart
Relay configuration. Use this addendum to configure the Smart Relay
commands using Telnet.
Additionally, you can number all the labels in a batch with a collation
number that prints on every label. The primary printer controls the
collation number, according to the Smart Relay configuration.
Note: If you need to turn off either printer, turn off the partner
printer first, then, turn off the primary printer. When turning
on the Smart Relay Printing System always turn on the
primary printer first, then wait until you see "Smart Relay
Ready," before turning on the partner printer.
