    I am taking this to the support list since it is not a bug.  The
    submission has been marked as such in Bugzilla.

    Sue, the short answer to your question is no, there is no way to hook up
    an impact or inkjet printer to the R6.  The original R6 designed called
    for an impact printer for the very reason you site, but this was changed
    at sales' insistence late in the game.

    We are in the process of developing a standalone application to create
    PCMCIA cards including labels from a PC.  This includes support for
    inkjet label printers.  In the mean time, they'll pretty much have to
    make due with the printer as it exists.  It is technically possible to
    rig up a label printer to the VIBS keypad port, but I don't think that
    is in the cards.

    Is it possible connect an Impact printer to the TS6?  Maryland would
    like to
    print a label, rather than taping the printout from the thermal printer
    onto
    the PCMCIA card.

    The issues:
    1.  The thermal printout fades  (some brands of invisible tape seem to
    make
    the printout fade quickly)
    2.  Ease of use - attaching a label would be quicker

    Or - is there a thermal label that could be used in our printer?
