Brief description of the printer The 9014, 9015,9015 E and 9016 printers are extremely fast 24 needle printers that emphasize convenient handling of paper and high performance.
9014 Needle Printer © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\SNI\Mackwitz\u26169\o26169e\26169E.K01 Preface The 9014 printer is equipped with continuous forms tractor and manual single sheet insertion. For automatic sheet feeding, the printer can be equipped with up to three ASF (Automatic Sheet Feeder) cassettes.
9015 Needle Printer © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\SNI\Mackwitz\u26169\o26169e\26169E.K01 Preface Convenient handling of paper is available with the 9015 printer: Using tractor cassettes, two continuous forms stacks can be inserted in a comfortable way. A parking position for continuous forms handling is available. There is no loss of sheets when you tear off continous forms (Zero-Tear-Off-Funktion). The printer offers a cut-off feature.
9015 E Needle Printer © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\SNI\Mackwitz\u26169\o26169e\26169E.K01 Preface The 9015 E needle printer offers the same attributes as the 9015 printer except from the cut-off feature. Additionally, the 9015 E printer can optionally be equipped with a manual single sheet insertion.
9016 Needle Printer © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\SNI\Mackwitz\u26169\o26169e\26169E.K01 Preface The fast high performance 9016 needle printer offers the handling of continouos forms (tractor) and, optionally, of single sheets (manual insertion).

Barcodes General information The print tolerance is smaller for horizontal barcodes than it is for vertical barcodes. Horizontal barcodes are automatically printed in unidirectional mode to ensure maximum accuracy. Vertically printed barcodes may be adversely affected by paper feed tolerances especially in the lower third of the last page of continuous form or on single sheets. This is why barcodes with small elements widths should be avoided.
