Abstract/Summary
This thesis paper aims to convert a commercial printer to a continuous printer. Commercial printers can be configured in such a way that it can print longer than its usual printing size. However, this does not eliminate the page break feature and printing on continuous paper is not possible.
This research aims to implement a continuous printer that can print images that are of longer length than the usual A4 size paper which is 11 inches in length. A commercial printer is the main machine for our prototype. The program is capable of displaying the image in its display window. Rio6z, when prompted to print, will start the printing process.
A commercial printer is equipped with a microcontroller that regulates and monitors signals. The software, Rio6Z, breaks images that are larger than the maximum limit of the printer into pages. It also displays a preview of the image to be printed. Through the use of the software and the converted commercial printer, printing on continuous papers can be done.
