Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus for driving a printer are provided. Data indicative of cash information to be printed on a cash voucher is received at a first driver from a local controller. Data indicative of non-cash information to be printed on a coupon is received at a second driver from a media controller. Printer commands are then generated by a processor in a standard format for the printer in response to data received from the first and second drivers. The data indicative of non-cash information may be stored in and obtained from media storage associated with the media controller. The media controller may forward the data indicative of non-cash information to the second driver in response to a signal received from the local controller. Alternatively, the media controller may forward the data indicative of non-cash information to the second driver in response to a signal received from a central system controller.
