Product description
The merchandise under consideration involves a model NCR 2567 printer port interface that allows the signal produced by a Point-of-Sale (POS) Cash register to transmit the signal in an acceptable format to the central processing unit so data can be processed and printed for analysis. The data is then viewed and manipulated into various visual and printed form. This printer interface unit includes the interface box, that is approximately 9 inches in length, 7 inches in width, and 2 inches in height, two ferrite sleeves, and a cable with two connector fittings. Although the instant printer port interface unit interfaces with an automatic data processing unit, it is not principally used with other ADP machines, or groups of input or output units. HQ 955873 dated March 7, 1994, and HQ 954494 dated February 9, 1994 are noted. This interface unit effects the interconnection of a central processing unit (CPU) to a Point of Sale cash register.

The applicable subheading for the printer port interface will be 8471.80.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other units of automatic data processing machines.
