[BC] TFT EAS Logging Question

I have a situation where I am thinking of installing the EAScriber 
software on a pc to log the EAS messages of both a Gorman-Redlich EAS 
unit, the one for TV that has a "pc" port DB9 connector on the back and 
an adjoining TFT 911EAS, I believe it's an older R4 version. The TFT 
only has the 2 standard DB9 ports on the back and doesn't have the 
optiional 4 port serial card. The printer on the TFT is slightly hosed 
where it only prints legibkly near the center of the paper tape.

Wondering if any of you have an idea whether this will work on the TFT 
without having the optional RS232 card.
Also any anecdotes regarding attaching any other printers or logging 
software to either of these units.

I do use the EAScriber program in the East logging a half dozen Sage 
boxes and it has worked solidly for a years ever since we installed it.
