Customizable Options  
 

The TUP500 can be programmed to use one or all of the customizable options listed below to fit your specific application needs.  It is with these 
numerous options that the TUP500 is the most versatile and flexible kiosk printer. 
 

User-Defined Printer ID:

  

Assigning a printer an ID allows for installations of multiple units to track each individual printer by its electronic ID. Using 

an electronic ID virtually eliminates confusion in identifying one printer from another. 
 

 

 

Forms & Tickets Mode:

  

The standard black mark sensor enables the TUP500 to precisely align documents for reliable printing on pre-printed forms 

and tickets.  

 

Presenter Options:

  

The presenter of the TUP500 is programmable for different modes of presenting documents.  

a.

 

Long Journal Mode:  

The presenter’s looping function is disabled allowing for unlimited length documents to be printed perfect for end of 

day reporting. 

b.

 

Document Capture:

  

Once the document is presented, it can be captured after a pre-determined length of time or when the capture 

command is received. The document can also be ejected at this point.  Ejecting a document allows for multiple documents to be printed 
without user interaction. When a document is presented, but not ejected, that document must be removed by the user or retracted, using the 
document capture function, before subsequent printing resumes. 

 

 

 

Maintenance Counter:

  

The maintenance counter of the TUP500 allows software to poll the printer and receive the status of many different aspects of 

the printer. Print head usage, the length of paper fed through the printer, the number of cuts performed, and the number of times the printer’s memory 
switch configuration has been rewritten can all be monitored using the maintenance counter. 
 
 
 

Top Search –

 

feeds the paper in reverse a few millimeters to reduce the amount of wasted paper at the top of the document. 

 
Printable Width –

 

adjusts the print width for use with different width paper rolls (37 – 80 mm). 

 

Capture Timer –

 

adjusts the amount of time the document is held in the presenter before Document Capture retracts it (0.5 – 127.5 sec). 

 

Near End Sensor Level –

 

adjusts the sensitivity of the paper near end warning. 

 

Black Mark Sense –

 

allows for use of tickets or other pre-printed papers using a black mark to align the print position. 

 

Adjust Print Density –

 

Different papers can produce different printing results. Adjusting the print density allows for optimization of the printed image. 

 

Adjust Print Start Position –

 

allows for minor adjustments to the positioning of the first line of a print job.
