Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator

Configuring The Validator

Setting validator options is done through the printer configuration menu. The validator comes equipped with a default setting for each configuration option, and it works without having to change any of these options. However, in some cases it is necessary to adjust these options, which are described below.

NOTE: If you make any changes to the default configuration menu items, you will be prompted to save the configuration. See “Auto Save Configuration” in the Quick Setup Guide.

Enabling And Disabling The Validator

Software can automatically detect an installed validator when the printer is powered up. If the printer is powered up with Power-Up Config. set to Factory, the VALIDATOR menu will be available and Validator Funct. is set to Enable in the QUICK SETUP and VALIDATOR menus.

If Power-Up Config. is not set to Factory, the VALIDATOR menu will be available, but Validator Funct. is set to Disable. Enable Validator Funct. by completing the following steps. (This is a one- time setting once you save the configuration.)

IMPORTANT Do not disable or enable the validator with data in the buffer.

See “Resetting Validator Data” on page 47.
