Using Self-Test to View Configuration Settings

From configuration mode, a configuration summary receipt will be printed and will show the printer's current
features and settings. This receipt is the same as the configuration summary receipt that can be printed through the
self-test Mode. It is possible to print the configuration summary receipt using both the self-test, and configuration
mode. Therefore, TransAct recommends that self-test be used to print the printer's current configuration receipt.
Printing the self-test configuration summary receipt is also recommended before ANY changes to the settings of
your printer are made by ANYONE. TransAct recommends that you print this configuration summary receipt as a
reference in case you wish to return the printer to its previous configuration state.

Entering Configuration Mode

Manually entering the printer's configuration mode can be accomplished one of two ways. Both ways have been
designed to make it difficult to enter configuration mode. This has been done to prevent unintended entry into the
mode and unintentional configuration changes. The mode that is used depends on how the printer is setup. If you
do not have access to the power connection use the second procedure.
1. Unplug the power cord from the printer.

After you enter configuration mode, the printer will print the current configuration, the current summary of printer
statistics, and an internal error log if any errors have been recorded. Save this printout as a guide to changing the
configuration. This printout is also helpful in case you wish to return the printer to the previous configuration
settings.
