HP-41, HP-28s printers Message #1 Posted by Michel Beaulieu on 7 Mar 2003, 8:42 p.m. Hi, can you tell me if an IR module can print on a HP-82240B printer. Is a HP-28S able to do the same, in my manual it's only written 82240A... What is the difference between 82240A and 82240B printers? Is there some printing advantage to have a IR printer over a HP-82143A printer for the 41C (new print functions, capabilities etc) Thanks! Michel

Re: HP-41, HP-28s printers Message #2 Posted by Scuba Diver on 7 Mar 2003, 8:46 p.m., in response to message #1 by Michel Beaulieu Yes, Michel, you can print to an 82240B printer with a 28S. The major difference between an 82240A and B is that the B has an easier-to-read character set and it also has some better power management... Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the 82143A as I have never used it. B.

Re: HP-41, HP-28s printers Message #3 Posted by David Ramsey on 7 Mar 2003, 9:29 p.m., in response to message #1 by Michel Beaulieu Yes, you can print to an 82240 printer with the IR module in an HP-41. If you have one of these modules, I find myself with a spare 82143A I'd be happy to trade for it...

Re: HP-41, HP-28s printers Message #4 Posted by Randy Smith on 8 Mar 2003, 3:44 p.m., in response to message #3 by David Ramsey I have found that it takes a bit longer to print on the IR printer since the module has to convert the data to IR and send it to the printer. The IR printer is also a bit louder than the 82143. However, the 82240 takes up a bit less room than the 82143. The 82240 also uses common AA batteries.
