Controls, Indicators, and Sensors
The KR403 printer has integrated controls, indicators, and sensors to enhance the
usability of the printer for the client’s kiosk experience, the kiosk operator’s service and
maintenance duties, and expand the developer’s ability to provide printing and service
information to the host kiosk system. The controls, indicators and sensors include:
• Media ‘Feed’ button with configuration and diagnostic functionality.
• Media detection and control sensors.
• Printhead temperature, sensor operation failure, and printhead testing.
• Cutter operation sensing and jam detection.
• Media output pull detection sensing.
• Support for an external low media (roll) detection sensor accessory option.
• Virtual sensing and report of printer operations to the host to simplify reporting and
kiosk integration and design process.
• Programming configurable maintenance and service warnings for printhead cleaning,
printhead life, printer life, and count of media retracted back into the kiosk. These
features are off by default and must be set by Set/Get/Do (SGD) or ZPL programming.
The printer has redundant printer control and indicator panels on each side of the printer
to provide the integrator greater flexibility for designing printer mounting for servicing the
printer.
Feed Button Control
The Feed button has several functions:
• Press and Release will feed media, cut, and present a
complete receipt page in the default kiosk mode. All the other
integrator set modes and variations of the kiosk mode will at
minimum, feed a page length of media when the Feed button is
pressed and released.
• Any data in the print buffer will be printed.
If the buffer is empty the page will be blank.
In black-mark mode, the page will be synchronized with the black-mark.
• Press and Hold with the Printer ON will cause the printer to enter the user interface
mode, a set of manual setup and configuration operations used by the integrator.
Refer to Table 7-2, “Application User Interface,” on page 89.
Power Indicator
The Power Indicator is green when the printer has the 24 VDC power applied to the
printer.
