Horizon lets you attach a printer to a workstation at your circulation desk to print circulation slips that describe library transactions. You can print two types of circulation slips with an appropriate printer: receipts for borrowers and workslips for staff members.
Each workstation needs its own printer. Circulation slips are designed for printing on continuous feed cash register tape, but you can also print on pre-formatted slips or plain paper. You need a separate 40-column printer for each circulation workstation that you want to use to print circulation slips. If you want to, you can order printers from SirsiDynix.
You can choose from several impact and thermal models. Impact printers use characters to strike the paper and typically have automatic cutting and spooling options for duplicate receipts. Thermal printers use heat to print on the paper. You can get parallel or serial models of either printer, but SirsiDynix recommends parallel.
If you use a serial printer, you must configure the port. At each workstation, you must also define which circulation slips and workslips that workstation can print.
