Select the hardware options sub-menu to set:
• Printhead setting
This setting is the printhead energy rating and must match the rating marked on the front right of the thermal
mechanism in the printer. Whenever a new thermal mechanism is installed, this setting must match the indicated
energy rating on the mechanism. (See A799 Service manual for replacing the thermal mechanism.)
energy rating on the mechanism. (See A799 Service manual for replacing the thermal mechanism.)
• Paper Type Name
Sets the printer to optimum performance for paper being used. This can also be done through the command 1D81 m
n. See the following chapter for command usage.
Available paper types may vary. Currently there are 4 types:
0 = monochrome, Kanzaki P310
1 = two-color, Kanzaki P310RB
4 = two-color, Kanzaki P320BB
5 = two-color, Kanzaki P320RB
(See page 30 in User Guide for available paper manufacturers.)

• Color density
Adjusts printhead energy level to darken color printing or adjust for paper variations. When printer prints high-
density color print lines (text or graphics), it automatically slows down. Factory setting is 100%.
WARNING: Choose a color density setting no higher than necessary to achieve acceptable color print density. Failure to
observe this rule may result in a printer service call and may void the printer warranty. Running at a higher energy level
will reduce the printhead life. Consult your CognitiveTPG technical support specialist if you have questions.

• Power supply wattage (Max power)
You can choose between a 55-watt or 75-watt power supply. This matches the wattage of the printer to the power

• Knife option
This should only be changed if the knife is removed or you do not want to cut the paper.
• Partial cut distance
Allows the user to set the distance that the knife will cut across a receipt in 5 step increments between 110-160.
• Paper low sensor
Senses when the paper roll is getting low on paper.
See troubleshooting section: “Receipt paper is low” in the A799 User Guide.
• Paper width
Allows the user to set the printer for 58mm, 60mm, 80mm, or 82.5mm paper width.
