ESC/Kiosk Series 5300 Kiosk Thermal Printer

The TransAct Series 5300 thermal printer has many options and features that are user

configurable. Unlike most printers that use dip switches to control these settings, the

Series 5300 has been equipped with an automated configuration mode. By powering the

Series 5300 on in a special sequence, the printer enters the configuration mode. In this

mode, the printer’s current settings are printed one at a time. By pressing the FEED

button, the printer cycles through the remaining available settings for that option. When

the setting for the item you desire has been selected, waiting 5 seconds will cause the

printer to move on to the next option that you can change. When all options have been

exhausted, the Series 5300 writes them permanently to its non-volatile eeprom memory

and resets.

Follow the steps below to enter the configuration mode:

1. Power the printer off if it is not already off.

2. Open the cover.

3. Power the printer on while holding down the FEED button.

4. Wait until the status LED blinks a cover open condition.

5. Release the FEED button.

6. Load the printer with paper if it is not already loaded.

7. Close the cover.

8. The Series 5300 will print a few lines of instructions followed by:

Press PAPER FEED to begin

9. If FEED is not pressed within 5 seconds, the printer will exit the configuration mode without making any changes and reset.

10. If FEED is pressed, the printer will start the configuration mode by displaying the first option and its setting.

11. At this time you may:

A) Press the FEED button to cycles through the choices for this option.

OR

B) Wait 5 seconds to continue to the next option.

12. Repeat step 11 until the last option has been completed.

13. The Series 5300 will print a message indicating it is exiting the configuration mode and will save the settings exactly as they have been presented/changed.

· If the Series 5300 is powered off at any time during the configuration mode, no changes will be saved.

· The initial setting displayed with each option reflects the current configuration. If you do not wish to change a setting, simply wait 5 seconds to continue to the next option.

· The printer does not have to be hooked up to a host computer to use the configuration mode.
