Customizable Options - Star Micronics TUP900 Integration Manual

Customizable Options

The TUP900 can be programmed to use one or all of the customizable
options listed below to fit your specific application needs. It is with these
numerous options that the TUP900 is the most versatile and flexible
kiosk printer.
User-Defined Printer ID:
installations of multiple units to track each individual printer by its
electronic ID. Using an electronic ID virtually eliminates confusion in
identifying one printer from another.
The standard black mark sensor enables the
Forms & Tickets Mode:
TUP900 to precisely align documents for reliable printing on pre-printed
forms and tickets.
Presenter Options: The presenter of the TUP900 is programmable
for different modes of presenting documents.
a. Long Journal Mode:
disabled allowing for unlimited length documents to be
printed.
b. Document Capture:
can be captured after a pre-determined length of time or
when the capture command is received. The document can
also be ejected at this point. Ejecting a document allows for
multiple documents to be printed without user interaction.
When a document is presented, but not ejected, that
document must be removed by the user or retracted, using
the document capture function, before subsequent printing
resumes.
Maintenance Counter: The maintenance counter of the TUP900
allows software to poll the printer and receive the status of many
different aspects of the printer. Print head usage, the length of paper fed
through the printer, the number of cuts performed, and the number of
times the printer's memory switch configuration has been rewritten can
all be monitored using the maintenance counter.
