Windows Driver 3.0.3.0 Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
Transact Core Driver Package

Description:
The Transact Core Driver Package provides a convenient way for users to integrate their Transact 203 DPI thermal printer (280, 430, 480, 610, 630, 880, 3000, 8040, 9000, and Ultra) with the Windows Operating System.

The installation wizard allows the user to select 1 of 4 different default paper widths: 304 dots, 576 dots, 608 dots, or 640 dots.  NOT all printers support all widths, so the user must make sure that they choose a default paper width that is compatible with the Transact printer they are installing.  For example: the 3000 printer only supports 640 dots wide paper, so the user should select 640 dots as the default width.

This installation package will also install the Transact Printer Properties application that allows the user to edit certain print job characteristics such as add Start of Print Job and End of Print Job commands, End of Print Job line feeds, an end of Print Job knife cut, et cetera.  This application is nearly identical to and in addition to the Transact Printer Properties tab provided under the Printer Properties dialog in Devices and Printers; however, there are known Privilege/Access issues with some Windows setups that prevent users from making changes via the dialog.  Hence the inclusion of the separate application.

Transact Virtual Serial Port Device Driver (TVS Driver) V. 1.0.0.4
Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 8 (32-bit & 64-bit)

This is a release of the Transact's Virtual Serial Com Driver for Window7-64.
It has completed Microsoft's quality test and has been signed by them.

It is targeted for Windows 8, Windows 7, and Vista (64 and 32 bit). However, XP can also run this but installation might have to be done after printer plug-in as a driver replacement, as XP does not have the pnputil utility.

Before connecting any printers please read TUSerialInstall.rtf and if the printer must remain configured as USB Composite then Vista Install Composite.rtf shows how this is done. If printers had already been connected, it may be easier to revert a test PC to a restore point rather than trying to clear all the places that knowledge of a USB device is kept by the operating system. If that is not possible then the driver replacement option in Driver Manager can be taken.

At install time the COM port number is automatically assigned by the operating system. If the number needed by the application is fixed, then a TransChangePort utility is provided to make this change. Install and port changes only work when run in administrative mode.
Additionally, a batch file showing the minimum commands needed for this reassignment is provided for use in custom install scripts.

Uninstall is done by using Driver Manager and selecting uninstall on the virtual port.

FAQs

 
Where can I order paper?
Paper can be ordered online through our TransAct Supplies website at www.transactsupplies.com
Where can I order parts?
Parts can be ordered online through our TransAct Supplies website at http://www.transactsupplies.com
Do you offer a repair service?
Yes, we offer repair at one of our Repair Centers in and outside the United States. Please use our convenient RMA web form.
What printer driver should I be using?
The correct printer driver depends on what Operating System you are using. You can find the drivers on our website here: Drivers & Downloads.
How do I know what firmware is currently in my Epic 430 printer?
To find out what firmware is currently in your Epic 430 printer, simply press and hold the FEED button for about 4 seconds (or until all 4 LED lights are lit), and the printer will print out a list of all the current configuration settings in the printer. After the list prints out, turn the power off on the printer and then back on. At the top of the list that is printed out, under Identification you will see “Firmware:” followed by the firmware currently in our Epic 430 printer.
What are the functions of the FEED button?
The FEED button will provide various functions, depending upon how long it is pressed.

Pressing this button will provide one of three functions. The function is time-dependent, and the display indicators will change to indicate the next mode, as follows:

  • The feed button is a multifunction button. By pressing and releasing the Feed button, the printer will feed about 5 inches of paper while printing the printer firmware version. This is intended to clear the printer and align the next ticket for print.
  • By pressing and holding the feed button for a longer time, two additional features may be activated. Pressing and holding the button for about two seconds will enter journal maintenance mode.
  • Holding the button for about 4 seconds will enter configuration mode.

To aid in selecting the correct mode, the Error LED will illuminate as soon as the button is pressed and indicates that FEED is selected. After about 2 seconds the Error LED will go out and the PAPER indicator will illuminate. This indicates that Journal mode is selected. After about 4 seconds, the Cover LED will illuminate indicating configuration mode is selected.

Transact Virtual Serial Port Device Driver (TVS Driver) V. 1.0.0.4
Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 8 (32-bit & 64-bit)

This is a release of the Transact's Virtual Serial Com Driver for Window7-64.
It has completed Microsoft's quality test and has been signed by them.

It is targeted for Windows 8, Windows 7, and Vista (64 and 32 bit). However, XP can also run this but installation might have to be done after printer plug-in as a driver replacement, as XP does not have the pnputil utility.

Before connecting any printers please read TUSerialInstall.rtf and if the printer must remain configured as USB Composite then Vista Install Composite.rtf shows how this is done. If printers had already been connected, it may be easier to revert a test PC to a restore point rather than trying to clear all the places that knowledge of a USB device is kept by the operating system. If that is not possible then the driver replacement option in Driver Manager can be taken.

At install time the COM port number is automatically assigned by the operating system. If the number needed by the application is fixed, then a TransChangePort utility is provided to make this change. Install and port changes only work when run in administrative mode.
Additionally, a batch file showing the minimum commands needed for this reassignment is provided for use in custom install scripts.

Uninstall is done by using Driver Manager and selecting uninstall on the virtual port.

Windows DriversV. 3.0.3.0
Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10Transact Core Driver Package

Description:
The Transact Core Driver Package provides a convenient way for users to integrate their Transact 203 DPI thermal printer (280, 430, 480, 610, 630, 880, 3000, 8040, 9000, and Ultra) with the Windows Operating System.

The installation wizard allows the user to select 1 of 4 different default paper widths: 304 dots, 576 dots, 608 dots, or 640 dots.  NOT all printers support all widths, so the user must make sure that they choose a default paper width that is compatible with the Transact printer they are installing.  For example: the 3000 printer only supports 640 dots wide paper, so the user should select 640 dots as the default width.

This installation package will also install the Transact Printer Properties application that allows the user to edit certain print job characteristics such as add Start of Print Job and End of Print Job commands, End of Print Job line feeds, an end of Print Job knife cut, et cetera.  This application is nearly identical to and in addition to the Transact Printer Properties tab provided under the Printer Properties dialog in Devices and Printers; however, there are known Privilege/Access issues with some Windows setups that prevent users from making changes via the dialog.  Hence the inclusion of the separate application.
 
Latest Version:
3.0.3.0

Release Date:
February 2017

Changes:
1.    (ID 185) Added Transact Epic 3000 support to driver.

Generic/Text Only Driver (Included in Windows)
Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 32-bit or 64-bit systems

If you are installing a Series 50, Series 70, Series 80/80PLUS, Series 90/90 PLUS, or a Series 150 printer, unfortunately we don’t have any Windows drivers for these printers and don't plan on developing any since they are our older printers. Instead you want to install a Generic/Text Only driver, which is included in Windows, and will allow you to print.  When you go through the Add Printer Wizard, just select Generic for the Manufacturer, and Generic/Text Only for the Printer, and you should be ok and should be able to print to your printer. Please follow the Windows Driver Installation Guide.pdf instructions on how to do this.
