ETS PRINTER

[carl]

I have a question which i asked mark palmer of bricon and didnt get a good enough answer,we fly to allotment and theres no power,so how do we power a dos printer to get a race sheet at the time of basketing,mark said put the birds through then take the printer to the club house and then print the race sheets of,this wont work as any mistakes with race sheets and birds will have already gone,also our race sheets go to fed straight after birds are picked up with transporter..hope im making sence here

Carl.

     Are you saying that you basket the birds on the allotments.

[gangster]

can you not use a battery to power it???

[REDCHEQHEN]

you need a generator

 

one of the demos we've been to said they can be bought from Maplins for about £60

 

wealso basket on allotments except for combine races

dont think you can get 12 volt printers, there is a gadget you can convert 12 volts to 240

no cant power a dos printer with a battery

hi fifer the gadget is a transformer they wont power a 240 volt printer from a 12volt battery for long thats for sure,

 

if i now need a genorator this is going to be hard for me as not many going for ets in my club just me and a few others intrested at the moment..

 

cheers

i think there called inverters

[Guest]

If you can have a car/van parked nearby you can run invertor from vehicle therefore also keeping battery on vehicle charged at same time obviously you will need to run engine

if there is only a few why not just take the clocks home and take the printouts,

new rule 7/36 ets must be held under lock and key at organisation or appproved premises to beaccessedby two officials

[Guest spin cycle]

small generator probably best. i've tried  inverters (for work) and not had any luck. mind you they were cheap but for cost of better one you can buy little generator

hi fifer because when we put birds through at basket shed the sheets must be signed by 3 people then and there,if i have to go home or wait for my sheet,there could be mistakes or a fault im thinking twice about this now
