About the Primary Printer
The primary printer
♦ must be a 9855 printer using MonarchNet2 software
♦ can have only one partner
♦ connects to the partner printer using a serial cable. You cannot
use the optional external keyboard with the primary printer.
Note: There is no bi-directional communication between the primary
and partner printers.
For maximum efficiency, the primary printer should print the majority
of the supplies. If you print more RFID supplies than non-RFID
supplies, make the RFID printer the primary printer. This reduces the
amount of data transferred to the partner printer and requires less
processing by the primary printer.
