The advantage of Graphic printing, then, is the ability to print anything; pictures, text, photos,
etc. exactly as you see it on your screen. The disadvantage is that to do so, much more data
(40 times as much data in our example) must be sent over the interface.
As a practical matter, then, it comes down to this. If you are doing ASCII printing, you can
use USB or a serial interface. Both are fast enough to handle the smaller amount of data
being sent. But if you are doing Graphic printing, USB is a far better choice due to its higher
speed, and serial may increase the time to complete a printout to an unacceptably long
period.

Major Options

3.1. Loop Presenter

The TS-56 is available with an optional loop presenter with retract function. Please note that
the presenter is standard for P/N 0691001. The loop presenter (see Fig. 1a) prevents a user
from touching the printed paper until after it is severed from the paper roll. The paper is then
presented out the front of the presenter to the user. If so configured, the presenter can
retract/reject the paper if it has not been taken, either by command or based on elapsed time.
Figure 7a
Figure 7a shows the loop presenter before paper reaches it. The presenter flap is essentially
horizontal, held in position by a spring. Fig. 7b shows the presenter after the loop, (from
which this type of presenter gets its name), has formed. The TwinSide TS™ presenter forms
its loop upward. Please note that your design must allow space for this loop. If inadequate
space is allowed, the loop may catch on protuberances inside your housing and cause a
paper jam. The amount of space required depends upon the length of your printout. When
using the loop presenter, the minimum printout length depends upon the Pre-print Mode
setting. If the Pre-Print Mode is set to disabled, the minimum ticket length is 97 mm. If the
Pre-Print Mode is set to "Pre-Print Header", then the minimum length is 111 mm.
maximum printout length is approximately 350 mm, but this depends upon the ability of the
paper loop to support itself, which is dependent upon the paper weight. We recommend that
you test with your actual paper before finalizing a design based on this length.
