Receipt (Page) Imaging Modes

Receipt (Page) Imaging Modes
The printer sets the following modes with programming commands or with the Windows
driver.
The KR403 printer uses ZPL ‘Page’ mode programming to assemble and print receipts.
Page mode printing describes the receipt margins and the image to be placed between
the margins and then printed. The image is assembled in the image (memory) buffer and
then printed as one continuous print.

Receipt Imaging Modes
Continuous
(Kiosk Mode)
Prints the image buffer and cuts the media at the end of the
image defined by Label Length parameter.
Continuous - Variable
(Default - Kiosk Mode)
If the image is larger that the preset image buffer size, then
the printer expands the image buffer to accommodate the
larger image up to the printer’s maximum allowed size (set by
programming, available memory, and print with). The printer
then prints the larger image with print margin and cut the
receipt. The next receipt will return to the preset image/receipt
size if the next image is the same size or smaller.
Black Mark or Line
(Kiosk Mode)
Prints receipts that match the receipt length set by the
distance between the black marks or lines, and cuts the
receipt at the black mark or line by default.
Cut Only
(Cutter Mode)
Can be used for printing labels, but it is not recommended for
receipt use.
Typically used for printing liner backed labels that use black
marks or black lines media to identify label ‘gap’ boundaries.
Requires additional programming to ensure that only the
media liner is cut. Cutting labels and their adhesive backing
will eventually jam the cutter and require a service technician
to correct.
Prints the image and cuts the receipt. Does not use the kiosk
mode ‘Looping’ or ‘Vertical’ presenter functions.
Cut mode does not support the ‘Retract’ media function.
Does not do ‘partial’ cut in Cutter Mode.
Basic Printing
(Rewind mode)
Not Recommended for kiosk use.
Rewind Mode has a deceptive name, it could be described as
Rewind Disabled as it relates to other Zebra tabletop printers
that share the ZPL programming language. Rewind Mode
does not allow cutting the media (including Cut Now
commands), the kiosk mode ‘Looping’ or ‘Vertical’ presenter
operations, retract or eject command options.
