Kiosk printer with epic functionality

Product: Epic 430 printer
Company: TransAct Technologies Inc.

The name is Epic, but it won't print out War and Peace. The 430 receipt printer from TransAct Technologies Inc. is designed specifically for customer self-service equipment, such as kiosks and gaming machines in noncasino establishments.

The device has a small, modular footprint that configures to fit easily into any space. A presenter feature provides variable-length tickets ranging from 2.5 inches to 10 inches, for graphics and coupons. It has a print speed of 152 millimeters per second.

The print mechanism has a built-in cutter. The paper bucket supports 4-inch diameter paper rolls, in either of two widths: 60 millimeters or 80 millimeters.

Options include an illuminated bezel and a variable-position spindle to allow the paper roll to be mounted behind or below the print mechanism.

Features include:

  • Status indicators
  • 31/42/56 characters per line
  • 42 ASCII code pages
  • Paper-feed button
  • 4 megabytes of Flash memory
  • 8 megabytes of random access memory
  • 8 kilobyte buffer
  • Support for multiple bar code formats
  • Recessed cable access on the rear of the electronics base
  • Electronic journal capability
  • Internal counters for hours on, cuts, print lines and errors
  • Printer emulation for Ithaca, Epson, ESC/POS and Custom VKP80.

The main controller employs both a serial RS-232 and a USB communications interface.
