Background information:

Sometimes, it is not possible to lay a cable between the computer and printers or other devices. However, the transfer of data on disks is often not practical (due to incompatibility or the lack of a floppy drive at the devices), or simply too cumbersome and risky (viruses). Printouts of logs are normally only required in the event of a disruption. Why should such data therefore be printed constantly? In these situations, portable buffers are the ideal solution. They are connected to the computer instead of a printer, and all print data is read into the buffer.
