Platinum Acceptor Config Settings

These settings can be found in the Platinum Tools app while a printer is connected to the PC.

Hardware & Mechanical

Bezel – Selects the type of bezel lighting while in normal operation.
- Solid On sets the LED to stay on during operation.
- Flashing sets the LED to blink on and off during operation.
Double Stack – Determines whether each accepted bill stacks once (Off) or twice (On).
Down-stacker Mode – Configures whether bills are stacked downward into the cashbox (commonly used in compact installations).
Cashbox Capacity – Sets the expected cashbox size (number of bills).

Lock On Cheat – Enables a security feature that temporarily locks the acceptor if a suspected fraudulent bill or tampering attempt is detected. This protects both the unit and the contents of the cashbox.
Randomized Lockout Period – When enabled, introduces a variable delay between the detection of a cheat attempt and the ability to reinsert bills. This randomization prevents exploitation by repeat tampering.
Cheat Lockout Seconds – Specifies the duration, in seconds, that the acceptor remains locked after a detected cheat attempt. During this period, no bills can be accepted, giving the operator time to review the situation.
Bill Security – Adjusts the level of authentication and validation applied to bills:
- Low – Faster acceptance, minimal scanning, and reduced anti-fraud checks.
- Medium – Balanced speed and counterfeit protection.
- High – Slower acceptance, maximum optical and magnetic validation.
  Platinum also incorporates MAS (Mechanical Anti-Stringing Lever) and OAS (Optical Anti-Stringing Sensor) to physically and electronically deter stringing attacks.

Enabled Directions – Configures the acceptor to accept bills only in specific orientations (e.g., face-up, face-down). Proper configuration ensures that all valid bills are accepted while reducing the chance of jams or misreads.
