Enable the Validator
NOTE: If you make any changes to the default configuration menu
items, you will be prompted to save the configuration when
you attempt to put the printer online. See “Auto Save
Configuration” in the
User’s Manual .
Software can automatically detect an installed validator when the
printer is powered up. If the printer is powered up with Power-Up
Config. set to Factory, the VALIDATOR menu will be available and
Validator Funct. is set to Enable in the QUICK SETUP and
VALIDATOR menus.
If Power-Up Config. is not set to Factory, the VALIDATOR menu
appears, but Validator Funct. is set to Disable. Enable Validator
Funct. by completing the following steps. (This is a one-time setting
once you save the configuration.)
IMPORTANT Do not enable or disable the validator with data in the buffer.
See “Resetting Validator Data” on page 56.
