Print Modes
The KR403 is a versatile printer and can print in several modes: Kiosk (the default
horizontal with looping presenter or configurable vertical presenter mode), rewind (receipt
only with no cut or kiosk mode features supported), and cutter (simple mode to support
label media, many kiosk features are supported, except looping, retract and partial cut)
modes.
In Kiosk mode, the printer stores the printed receipt in the loop area (horizontal mounting)
or hanging below the printer (vertical mounting) while finishing printing and cutting the
receipt. The printer then presents the receipt to the kiosk client. When the client pulls the
receipt, the printer immediately detects the roller movement and causes the printer to
accelerate the receipt out of the printer. This helps prevent damage to the receipt. The
kiosk mode also has programable options to retract the forgotten receipt back into the
kiosk’s internal waste bin below the printer.
