Configuration Mode
There are two ways to configure the POSjet
®
1500 printer. The first is to use the manual configuration sequence by
using the keypad controls, and the second is to use TransAct’s remote configuration software. A remote
configuration program is available and typically used by system integrators. To obtain more information, or the
latest version of the configuration program, call our Sales Department or Technical Support.
!TransAct highly recommends that any attempt at configuring the POSjet
®
1500 be made by a certified
service technician who has successfully completed training on the printer. TransAct is not responsible for
printer’s that are configured by anyone other than a trained technician!
Remote Configuration Software
This configuration program provides a means of configuring printers by using the printer’s remote configuration
mode. The configuration program is setup to provide initial (factory) printer configuration as well as allow the
printer to be reconfigured at any time. During factory configuration, the printer is configured as required by the
customer, and a serial number is embedded in the EEPROM. During the reconfiguration process, features and
communication configurations can be altered; however, the serial number cannot be changed. In remote
configuration mode, the serial or parallel port on the printer is temporarily reconfigured to a predefined standard.
The port is then used for the configuration or reconfiguration operation. The Ithaca Configuration program can
configure all configurable features. This program runs on most standard PC computers in Windows 95/98 and NT
4.0.
Manual Configuration
In many cases, manual configuration is locked by the remote configuration. If this is the case, the only way to
alter the configuration is by remote configuration.
Manual Configuration is a function of the printer that allows technicians to gain access to the printer’s configuration
mode. It is accessed by performing a series of steps. The POSjet
®
1500 printer has many configurable features. Most
all of the configurable features can be configured by a certified technician using the keypad buttons while in
configuration mode. For example, if a dual color printer is to be operated with only one print cartridge, turning off
the dual color option will send all data to the single cartridge.
Manual Emulation Set
To allow easy predefined configurations to be loaded, the printer contains an internal default configuration for each
of the printer emulation's. The internal default configuration allows a starting point when changing the emulation.
To activate the manual emulation set, press and hold the
and
Buttons during power up.
Manual emulation set offers more specific configuration options as what is covered in the regular configuration
options. (Note that the additional options are only offered once.)
It is important to note that each emulation can have different configurable features. If you are changing the
emulation, the printout that was printed at the beginning of the configuration process will document the initial
emulation settings. When you change the emulation, the configurable features may be different. If you are using
this printout as a configuration guide, and you are changing the emulation, you may wish to save the new emulation,
and then re-enter configuration mode to change other options. This will print all the available features for the new
emulation.
