Page 150
To use ticket with RFID tag with models with triple feeder, it is recommended to load ticket into the input feeder 2 (the central one), as shown in following igure. The use of paper inputs 1 and 3 causes a slight bending of paper and therefore the integrity of TAG RFID is not guaranteed. Before proceeding, check with a sample ticket.
8.14 Character sets in CUSTOM/POS emulation The device has 3 embedded fonts of varying width: 11, 15, 20 cpi for the 200 cpi model and 16, 23, 60 cpi for the 300 dpi model. Each of these fonts offers the following code tables: PC437, PC850, PC860, PC863, PC865, PC858 PC437 CODE TABLE (Usa, Standard Europe) “...
Page 157
In CUSTOM/POS emulation, it is possible to use TrueType fonts. To be used, a TrueType font must be monospace type (every character of the font must have the same dimension). The check is made by the device when the font is selected. TrueType fonts will be automatically scaled by the device in order to obtain the same available width for the embedded fonts (11, 15 and 20 cpi for the 200dpi model and 16, 23 and 30 cpi for the 300dpi model).
8.15 Character sets in SVELTA emulation In SVELTA emulation the device has 20 embedded fonts of varying width which may be accessed through control char- acters (see commands description in SVELTA emulation of command manual).

The kit makes it possible the connection between triple feeder and low paper sensors. The kit includes three wirings assembled with three low paper sensors boards, as shown in following igure.
11 ALIGNMENT Device is provided with sensors for the use of alignment notch in order to handle: roll of tickets with pre-printed ields and a ixed length; • fan-fold module of tickets with pre-printed ields and a ixed length. • The alignment notch may be formed by (see par.8.10): • black mark printed on paper; • hole between two tickets; •...
11.1 Enable alignment Device is provided with two sensors for alignment, placed as follows: one mobile sensor on the lower lat • one mobile sensor on the upper lat. • To guarantee the alignment, it is necessary to correctly choose the sensor to use for the notch/b.mark detection depending on the type of notch/b.mark and its location on the ticket. To do this, you must enable the parameter “Notch/B.Mark Position”...

11.2 Calibration The sensor calibration occurs automatically and consists in adjusting the quantity of light emitted to match the degree of whiteness of the paper used and the degree of black of the mark printed on paper. The device automatically performs the self-calibration during the setup procedure only if the “Notch/B.Mark Position” pa- rameter is set to a value other than “Disabled”...

The following igure shows an example of paper with holes: the outgoing voltage is constant while passing the paper be- tween two holes and presents a variation at each hole. In this case, the optimal value for the “Notch/B.Mark Threshold” parameter is placed about half of the variation. NON-THERMAL SIDE “Notch/B.Mark Threshold” Peak THERMAL SIDE...

The following igure shows an example of paper with the non-thermal paper printed with black marks and other graphics (for example, a barcode): the outgoing voltage is constant while passing the white paper between two black marks, presents a peak at each black mark and presents some “noise” at each barcode. In this case, the optimal value for the “Notch/B.Mark Threshold” parameter is located about halfway between the peak value and the maximum value of the “noise” (as shown in igure): NON-THERMAL SIDE Peak...
11.3 Alignment parameters The “alignment point” is deined as the position inside the ticket to use for the notch/b.mark alignment. The distance between the notch/b.mark edge and the alignment point is deined as “Notch Distance”. The value of “Notch Distance” varies from a minimum value of -5 mm to a maximum value of 66 mm. If the “Notch Distance” value is set to 0, the alignment point is set at the beginning of the notch/b.mark: Alignment Alignment Alignment...
Page 179
To set a negative value of the “Notch Distance” parameter is useful in cases where the alignment point refers to the notch/b.mark on the previous ticket or where the desired cutting line is placed in the middle of the alignment notch/b.mark (for example, for paper with holes or gap).

Page 181
CUSTOM/POS emulation To deine the alignment point you need to set the printer parameters that compose the numerical value of the “Notch Dis- tance” parameter (see par. 6.4). For example, to set a notch distance of 15 mm between the notch/b.mark and the alignment point, the parameters must be set on the following values: Notch Distance Sign Notch Distance [mm x 10] Notch Distance [mm x 1] Notch Distance [mm x .1] The “Notch Distance” parameter, may be modiied as follows:...
11.4 Printing area In order to print ticket containing only one notch/b.mark and to not overlay printing to a notch/b.mark (that will make it use- less for the next alignment), it is important to well calibrate: • the length of the printing area of ticket according to the inter-notch distance; •...
