    5.7 Hexadecimal dump This function is used for the diagnosis of the characters received from the communications port. Characters are printed as hexadecimal code and the corresponding ASCII code (see below). Each line is preceded by a counter in hexadecimal that indicates the number of bytes received.

  • Page 47: Alignment

    6 ALIGNMENT The device is provided with a sensor for the use of alignment black mark in order to handle rolls of tickets with pre-printed ields and a ixed length. The alignment sensor is a “relection” sensor: 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 ensure the correct alignment, you must enable the “Black Mark Position” parameter during the setup procedure (see paragraph 5.6).

  • Page 48: Calibration

    6.1 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” param- eter is set to a value other than “Disabled”...
  • Page 49 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 “Black Mark Threshold”...

  • Page 50: Alignment Parameters

    6.2 Alignment parameters The “alignment point” is deined as the position inside the ticket to use for the black mark alignment. The distance between the black mark edge and the alignment point is deined as “Black Mark Distance”. Referring to the front of the black mark, the value of “Black Mark Distance” varies from -19.9 mm minimum and +99.9 mm maximum. If the “Black Mark Distance” value is set to 0, the alignment point is set at the beginning of the black mark. Alignment point: Alignment Alignment...
  • Page 51 To set a negative value of the “Black Mark Distance” parameter is useful in cases where the alignment point refers to the black mark printed on the previous ticket or where the desired cutting line is placed in the middle of the alignment black mark.
  • Page 52 To deine the alignment point you need to set the printer parameters that compose the numerical value of the “Black Mark  Distance” parameter. (see paragraph 5.6). For example, to set a black mark distance of 15 mm between the black mark and the alignment point, the parameters must be set on the following values: Black Mark Distance sign Black Mark Distance [mm x 10] Black Mark Distance [mm x 1] Black Mark Distance [mm x .1] The “Black Mark Distance” parameter, may be modiied as described in chapter...

  • Page 53: Printing Area

    6.3 Printing area In order to print ticket containing only one black mark and to not overlay printing to a black mark (that will make it useless for the next alignment), it is important to well calibrate the length of the printing area of ticket according to the inter-black mark distance.
