Thermal Printer Family
approximately 30 seconds, if the sensor detects that the paper has not yet been taken, the
printer will do a full cut to foil any vandals.
When the printer is not equipped with a chute sensor, the partial cut function is not
recommended because there is no means in detecting "receipt taken".
5.6 eXtendo® XF Digital Tools
The eXtendo® XF family of thermal printers includes with the Windows driver a series of very useful
tools. These can be run directly from the folder ".\tools "of the driver package once the driver has
been installed and a printer has successfully connected. A brief summary of some of the tools is as
follows.
eXtendo® Configuration Tool: A very important tool that allows you to change virtually any
variable setting or performance characteristic of your eXtendo® XF printer, e.g., paper format
control parameters, default print speed, dot history settings, individual serial numbers etc.
eXtendo® Command Tool: Very simple tool for sending Native Commands to the printer. Can be
used to experiment and build complete ticket sequences.
eXtendo® Print Terminal: Possibly the most useful tool of the bunch, the Print Terminal has 12 sets
of 24 buttons each, part of them pre-programmed with useful commands. All buttons are
programmable to make them transmit whatever is needed by a single click. It also provides a
display that show the transmitted data as well as the printer's responses, e.g., upon status request
commands.
Both, Command and Print Terminal Tools are very popular with software developers who are
integrating the eXtendo® XF into their products.
eXtendo® Diagnostic Tool: A useful tool for identifying possible issues with your printer, its
peripherals and firmware. Provides all sensor information as well as a test bench for endurance
testing and for black mark testing.
eXtendo® Font Tool: Used for uploading and assigning different fonts within the eXtendo® XF
printer. You can modify fonts or use pre-defined code page bundles.
eXtendo® Image Tool: This tool creates eXtendo® XF upload files from standard graphic files so
they can be uploaded as stored images.
eXtendo® Uninstaller Tool: Use this tool to uninstall single or all versions of the eXtendo® XF driver.
eXtendo® Upload Tool: Used to upload firmware and other upload files (image/logo files, font files)
into the flash area of your eXtendo® XF printer.
eXtendo® Wide Font Tool: Used for creating Wide Font formats (such as Chinese or Korean) from
standard graphic files.
