The Printer Power connection on the Topaz provides what kind of functionality?

The Printer Power connection on the Topaz provides functionality that allows for data communication from the POS (Point of Sale) system to the printer. This means that when a transaction takes place, the POS system can send the necessary data to the printer for receipt printing or other printing tasks.

Data communication is essential in a retail environment, where a seamless flow of information between the POS and printer is crucial for processing transactions efficiently. This connection enables the POS to control printing tasks such as formatting and initiating the print job, ensuring that the appropriate information is sent from the POS system to be printed.

While the printer also needs power to operate, the core functionality of the Printer Power connection is tied to the data transfer aspect, facilitating the interaction between the POS and the printer effectively.
