  • Page 101: Alignment

    10 ALIGNMENT Device is provided with sensors for the use of alignment black mark in order to handle: roll of tickets with pre-printed ields and a ixed length; • Fan-fold of tickets with pre-printed ields and a ixed length. • The alignment black mark may be formed by black mark printed on paper; • hole between two tickets; • All alignment sensors are “relection” sensors: this kind of sensor emits a band of light and detects the quantity of light  relected to it. The presence of the black mark is therefore detected by the amount of light that returns to the sensor, con- sidering that the light is relected by the white paper and absorbed by the black mark.  To use tickets with holes, it is possible to use the same sensors as “transparence” sensors, coupled two by two: a beam of light is emitted by the transmitter sensor and the quantity of light which reaches the opposite receiver sensor is detected.

  • Page 102: Enable Alignment

    10.1 Enable alignment Device is provided with two sensors for alignment, placed as follows: one mobile sensor on the bottom lat, • one mobile sensor on the top lat. • To guarantee the alignment, it is necessary to correctly choose the sensor to use for the black mark detection depending on the type of black mark and its location on the ticket. To do this, you must enable the parameter “Black mark position”...

  • Page 103: Calibration

    10.2 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 “Black mark position” parameter is set to a value other than “Disabled”...

In this case, the optimal value for the “Black mark threshold” parameter is placed about half of the variation. NON-THERMAL SIDE “Black mark threshold” THERMAL SIDE Peak...

In this case, the optimal value for the “Black mark threshold”...

    12 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS 12.1 File sharing The device can be connected to a PC with a USB cable. Through this kind of connection, it is possible to manage drivers, fonts and logos of the device and conigure the operating  parameters by iles sharing from Mass Storage. FILE SHARING FROM MASS STORAGE 12.2 Drivers installation It is possible to install the new driver update directly into the folder “Driver” on the Flash Drive of the device. To enter the Flash Drive by iles sharing from Mass Storage you need to enable the relative parameter during the conigu- ration process (see chapter 6).

  • Page 110: Setup

    12.3 Setup It is possible to conigure the default parameters for device setup by editing the “Setup.ini” ile on the Flash Drive. To enter the Flash Drive by iles sharing from Mass Storage, you need to enable the relative parameter during the con- iguration process (see chapter 6). After editing device’s parameter, simply save the “Setup.ini” ile to make the modiies activated. The “Setup.ini” ile is a coniguration ile that contains all the conigurable parameters listed in text format and divided into  some sections (indicated in square brackets). The available values for every parameter, are listed after the parameter name. The value marked with the symbol ‘ * ’ is the default one. To modify printer’s parameters, change the numeric value after the name of parameters. To set the parameter to the default value, change the numeric value with the symbol D.
