CognitiveTPG A798 Programming Manual page 21

Revision C 12/09
Select the hardware options sub-menu to set:
• Printhead setting
This setting is the printhead energy rating and must match the rating marked on the front right of the thermal
mechanism in the printer. Whenever a new thermal mechanism is installed, this setting must match the indicated
energy rating on the mechanism. (See A798 Service manual for replacing the thermal mechanism.)
• Print density (monochrome papers only)
Adjusts printhead energy level to darken printout or adjust for paper variations. When printer prints high-density
print lines (text or graphics), it automatically slows down. Factory setting is 100%.
WARNING: Choose a print density setting no higher than necessary to achieve acceptable print density. Failure to
observe this rule may result in a printer service call and may void the printer warranty. Running at a higher energy level
will reduce the printhead life. Consult your CognitiveTPG technical support specialist if you have questions.
• Power supply wattage (Max power)
You can choose between a 55-watt or 75-watt power supply. This matches the wattage of the printer to the power
supply.
55-watt power supply (standard)
75-watt power supply (Enables printer to optimize speed at higher dot coverage.)
• Knife option
This should only be changed if the knife is removed or you do not want to cut the paper.
• Partial cut distance
Allows the user to set the distance that the knife will cut across a receipt in 5 step increments between 110-160.
• Paper low sensor
Senses when the paper roll is getting low on paper.
See troubleshooting section: "Receipt paper is low" in the A798 User Guide.
• Paper width
Allows the user to set the printer for 58mm, 60mm, 80mm, or 82.5mm paper width.
