Field Configuration Feature A field configuration feature allows easy setup and configuration of your Epic 880
printer. This feature provides a one-time prompt, on initial power-up, that lets you
select from a number of configurations that are pre-loaded for you at the factory.
This feature is an option, and must be set up and activated by TransAct. It stores a
specified number of complete, commonly-used configurations in the printer, together
with a text description and configuration summary.
