Abstract
A mobile multi-printer station communicates with a remote host station via radio frequency messages. The multi-printer station includes a number of different types of printers for printing on different types and sizes of record members such as labels, tags and signs. Each of the printers is supported on a cart for mobility. The cart also supports a radio frequency communicator for receiving and transmitting radio frequency printer messages to and from the host station. The radio frequency communicator couples received printer messages to each of the printers on the cart. Each of the printers includes a memory for storing a printer address and a processor that is responsive to the received digital information identifying a printer for comparing the information to the stored printer address and the printer processor processing digital data in response to a match between the stored printer address and the received digital information. Communication parameters may be programmed into a printer on the cart by multiple actuations of a single key to provide a very simple procedure for setting communication parameters.
