The printer sets the following modes using the Windows driver.
Printer Configuration Methods and Tools
The KR203 printer has a variety of printer configuration methods for the software and
hardware integrator. Each is designed to assist you with various kiosk design and
integration tasks. These integration tasks include printer startup, proof of concept, receipt
design, status reporting, multi-printer configuration, and kiosk application design. The
configuration methods from hardware to programming application include:
• Media Guides — Sets the printer’s maximum print width. See "Media Guide" on
page 34 and "Installing the Media Guide" on page 34.
• Control Panel — The printer’s control panel (Feed Button) provides access self
test, media guide detection, test prints, and resetting the printer to factory
defaults. See the "Feed Button" on page 21.
• Windows Drivers — Quickly allows the developer to use the printer, test
configuration options, send programming commands or files, and print directly
from Windows applications. Refer to the Software Integrator Guide (P1028248)
for additional information.
Variable Page Mode
The length of the page (receipt) varies with the contents.
Pages shorter than the minimum page (receipt) length will be
extended to the minimum length. Pages (receipts) longer
than the maximum page (receipt) length will print the
maximum page (receipt) length, then place the extra data on
additional pages (receipts).
Fixed Page Mode
The length of the page (receipt) is fixed. The printer will
always create a page (receipt) of the defined length. If the
page (receipt) image is shorter than the defined length, blank
media will be fed until the defined length is reached. Any data
beyond the defined length will be placed on subsequent
pages (receipts). Between pages (receipts), the cut behavior
(full or partial) specified for the print job will occur.
Black Mark Mode
Marks on the paper set the form length. Black mark mode
can work with either fixed or variable length pages (receipts).
In fixed page mode, the printer will force a cut at every black
mark and multiple pages can be imaged for one document. In
variable page mode, the printer will cut ar the next black mark
after the end of the data.
