PRINT TO EMAIL        A STAND ALONE DEVICE

Log to USB Flash Drive and collect log data remotely by email.
Model RJ
This is a simple stand alone device that accepts print data from a print cable,
then sends the data to one or more email recipients.  This can be used to replace
a legacy dot matrix printer attached to machines, measuring instruments, or
industrial alarm panels.  Emails are sent automatically and immediately. 
This design is meant for unattended 24 hour operation.

Logging Feature:   A USB Drive also keeps a log file that is constantly 
appended with new print data received, keeping a total history of print data until 
the file is erased.   This feature can serve in a backup plan to retrieve data in
case email data is lost for any reason.   This log file can also be attached to 
the email sent.  

Audit Trail: An additional file on the USB Drive keeps a history of emails sent.  It
shows email recipients transmission successes and failures with the mailing
date/time, so that integrity checks can be made.

  In addition to sending emails, all print
  data is logged. The emailing function 
  can be turned off so that just logging 
  occurs.

Some criteria to use Model RJ Print-to-Email:
- You wish to replace a dot matrix printer that prints plain generic text characters. No graphics, rich text, or font changes should exist.
- Your print cable uses an RS232 Serial Interface. For parallel interface cable add Model CS-ZN adapter, or Model PT8 (Pass-Thru to Parallel Printer)..
- An ethernet RJ45 cable connected to a local network must be available.
- Maximum size of outgoing email (with attachment) is limited by recipients email account, e.g. 20 MB. E.g. 15,000,000 print characters can be emailed.
- A common USB flash drive must be installed. E.g. 2GB, 64GB, etc.
- The Model RJ Emailer waits until the printing is finished before sending the email. A print data idle period determines the end of the print report.

- The Model RJ Emailer can be set to send an email of the log when it receives a request from an incoming email. This allows the user to collect log
data whenever it is convenient (e.g. once a day). This gives the user the opportunity to automate the data collection.


Additional Splitter Accessory:

Adding a splitter allows both a hardcopy product and
an email product of the print data.

Provides additional capture insurance.

Retire the printer anytime just by disconnecting it.

For Parallel Interface printers:
The Model RJ can be front-ended with Model PT8. This will allow a parallel interface printer to continue operating, as well as feeding
data to the Model RJ "Print to Email" unit.
