Paper-savings
This function makes it possible to use less receipt paper. Paper-savings can be achieved by configuring the printer to
reduce white space between lines, and by using a downloadable paper-savings font.
To configure paper-savings features, use the POS Configuration utitility, available from your CognitiveTPG representative
or downloadable from our website, www.CognitiveTPG.com.
Monochrome paper print density
This function makes it possible to adjust the energy level of the printhead to darken the printout or adjust for paper
variations. An adjustment should only be made when necessary. The factory setting is 100%.
Warning: Choose an energy level no higher than necessary to achieve a dark printout.Failure to observe this rule may
result in a printer service call or voiding of the printer warranty. Running at a higher energy level will reduce
the printhead life. Consult your CognitiveTPG representative or CognitiveTPG technical support if you have
any questions.
