This is only permissible in 'Type B' fuel pumps/dispensers (as defined by
AS2229-1) or in pumps/dispensers used in applications where less
stringent requirements are set. This is because the printer is not an
intrinsically safe device and must have access to the pump/dispenser
exterior for the 'printer paper slot'.
The printer receives the data for printing and cutter operation from the
C4000 microprocessor PCB, via an interface PCB (CI125) which also
provides the printer with a 12V power supply. The interface PCB provides
'opto-isolation' between the C4000 intrinsically safe circuitry and the
'unsafe' printer circuitry, for the printer driver signal.
This Receipt Printer option is only available for C4000 microprocessors
controlling one hose pumps/dispensers, or for C4000s which are set-up in
'True Multi' configuration. A PIN pad must also be connected to the C4000
and the third digit of the Configuration Code must be set to '1' or '3'
On a pump/dispenser set-up with a receipt printer, a receipt is obtained
as follows:
1. Authorise the transaction as for a normal fill until the PIN pad
display reads “REQUIRE RECEIPT YES OR NO”
2. Press 'YES'
3. The display will read “TAKE FUEL”
Continue the fill as per normal and at the completion of the fill, a receipt will
print automatically.”
If the nozzle is still in holster:
1. Pin pad reads: “LOAD PRESET”
2. Press: “ENTER”
If the nozzle is lifted:
Pin pad reads: “TAKE FUEL”
If the Receipt Printer is not operational (e.g. out of paper),
then when the PIN pad displays: “PASS CARD” it will also display:
“NO RECEIPT”
The data cabling for the printer connects to the C4000 intrinsically safe
terminals at connector J14. The other end of these wires connects to
connector CON5 on the Interface PCB (CI125).
The 220-240V supply connection on the Interface PCB is at connector
CON1.
Power and data connections to the printer and cutter are from CON2 &
CON3 on the Interface PCB.
Where a Central Controller is installed on site, it is possible to connect a
Receipt Printer to the Central Controller Comms Port 3 to obtain printouts.
Two operational options can be configured at the pump/dispenser C4000
when the Receipt Printer is connected like this:
1. If a Receipt Printer is connected to the Controller and left „ON LINE‟,
then by setting the third digit of the Configuration Code to '0' or '2' (for
standard or Secure PIN pad operation respectively), a receipt will be
printed after each transaction. This should be the set-up chosen when
a receipt is always required or when the pump/dispenser does not have
