Logo

This property sheet is used to control the printing of logos.  Star printers have the ability to store logo graphics internally.  This functionality allows for the fastest possible printing of graphics within a document.  Usage of the printer’s logo store capabilities is done as follows:

1. Store logo data into the printer (possibly via the Star Logo Store Printer Driver)

2. Use the controls on this property sheet to specify which logos are printed on each ticket.  Up to four different logos can be printed on each ticket.  The points at which logos can be printed are:

Document Top
    Page Top (Repeated on each page)
    Page Bottom (Repeated on each page)
Document Bottom

To print a specific logo at each one of these timing points do this (using Document Top as an example):

3. Specify the logo number to be printed in the Document Top No. field.  Logo numbers range from 1 through 255.

4. Choose the size that the specified logo should be printed at by choosing one of the following options from the Document Top Size field:
: Normal:	Printed exactly as it was stored into the printer
: Double Width:	Printed twice as wide as it was stored into the printer.
: Double High:	Printed twice as high as it was stored into the printer.
: Double Width Double High:	Printed twice as wide and high as it was stored into the printer.

5. Choose the alignment that the specified logo should be printed at by choosing one of the following options from the Document Top Align field:
: No Print:	No logo is printed at the Document Top timing position.
: Left:      	The logo is aligned with the left edge and printed.
: Center:	The logo is center aligned and printed.
: Right:	The logo is right aligned and printed.

To verify which logos are currently stored in your printer click the Print All Logos button.  This will initiate the printing of logos 1 through 255.  The resulting ticket will have a very long length.

Notes:

: Use the Set options to defaults button to return all options to their default states.


Choose the print quality that the job should printed at. Star printers vary print speed in order to achieve various print qualities.  Choose ¡°Standard¡± for the fastest print speed and ¡°Best¡± for the best print quality (via the slowest printing speed) or ¡°High¡± for an intermediate point between speed and quality.

Print Options

This property sheet is used to control the printer’s functionality during printing.  Different Star printers have different feature sets, and as such all of the controllable functions described here may not be available for your printer.

: Print Quality
This option allows for control of print quality.  Star printer’s achieve print quality by varying the print speed.  The choices for this option are:
: Standard:	Printing occurs at fastest rate
: High:	Trade-off between quality & speed
: Best:	Slowest printing for best quality.

: Cut Action
This option controls the pattern of cuts performed during printing of a document.  This driver allows one cut action to be performed on the first 1 ~ n-1 pages, and a different one to be performed following the last page.  The choices for this option are:
: Form Feed / Form Feed:	No paper cut or feed occurs
: Form Feed / Tear Bar:	Last page is fed to the tear bar position
: Form Feed / Partial Cut:	Last page us fed to the cutter and partially cut
: Form Feed / Full Cut:	Last page is feed to the cutter and fully cut
: Partial Cut No Feed / Partial Cut No Feed:	All pages are partially cut without feeding
: Partial Cut / Partial Cut:	All pages are fed to the cutter and partially cut
: Partial Cut No Feed / Full Cut No Feed:	Pages 1 ~ n-1 are partially cut, page n is fully cut
: Partial Cut / Full Cut:	Pages 1 ~ n-1 are partially cut, page n is fully cut(fed)
: Full Cut No Feed / Full Cut No Feed:	All pages are fully cut without feeding
: Full Cut / Full Cut:	All pages are fed to the cutter and fully cut
: Reverse / Reverse:	Feeds the slip paper toward front of the printer, then releases the paper
: Forward / Forward:	Feeds the slip paper toward the back of the printer, then releases the paper

: Black Mark Paper Support
This option is used to enable or disable the printer’s black mark sensor.  When the printer’s black mark senor is enabled, the printer feeds paper according to the paper’s black markings.  Note that in order to enable the printer’s black mark sensor you must set the printer’s 1-8 memory switch to the on state.  The choices for this option are:
: Enabled:	Paper feeding occurs according to the black markings
: Disabled:	Black mark sensing is not performed

Note:

: Enabled:	Print for effectiveness on two color paper
: Disabled:	Print for effectiveness on standard paper

: Presenter Control Paper Retract
This option is used to control the presenter units ability to retract the paper.  If the Enabled choice is selected, then the printer will retract paper from the presenter unit if it has not been removed within the specified time period.  The choices for this option are:
: Enabled:	The paper will be automatically retracted
: Disabled:	The paper will not be automatically retracted

: Paper Retract Timeout
This field allows you to specify the time period the printer will wait for the user to remove the paper before automatically retracting the paper.  The units for this field are half seconds.  Valid entries for this field range from 1 through 255.

This is useful when your printer supports a feature that this driver has not accommodated for.  In addition to control codes, you can enter text into any of these fields for printing at the different timing points.  For example, if you would like to print your store’s web address before the receipt is cut, you could enter it into the Before Document Bottom field.

Notes:

: Only Star Line Mode control codes can be entered into these fields.

: The format for entering control codes is:
\xhh
Where hh is the two digit hex value to be sent to the printer.
