Print head setting
This is the print head energy rating. It must match
the rating marked on the front right of the thermal
mechanism in the printer.
CAUTION
Do not change print head setting unless print head is
replaced.
When a new thermal mechanism is installed, be sure
this setting matches the indicated energy rating on
the mechanism. (See A776 Service Guide for replacing
the thermal mechanism.)
Color density
The color density setting adjusts the energy level at
the print head to change color printing or to adjust
to paper variations. The factory setting is 100%.
CAUTION
Choose an energy level no higher than necessary to
achieve a dark printout. Failure to observe this rule
may result in a printer service call or voiding the printer
warranty. Running at a higher energy level reduces the
life of the print head. Contact TPG technical support if
you have any questions.
Print density (monochrome papers only)
Adjusts print head energy level to darken printout
or adjust for paper variations. When the printer
prints high-density color print lines (text or
graphics), it automatically slows down. Factory
setting is 100%.

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 supply. The 55-watt power
supply is standard. The 75-watt power supply
allows the printer to print faster with a higher dots
per inch coverage.
Alternate reset feature
This feature allows you to reset the A776 by opening
and closing the front cover instead of using the dip
switch or reset button.
Paper low sensor
Allows the user to enable or disable the paper low
sensor.
MICR
Allows the user to enable or disable the MICR to
read checks.
MICR dual pass option
This feature when enabled allows the printer
to attempt a second reading of the check MICR
number, if the first attempt was unsuccessful.

CAUTION
Choose a print density setting no higher than
necessary to achieve acceptable 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 reduces the print head life. Consult your
TPG technical support specialist if you have questions.
