7 ALIGNMENT The 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 module of tickets with pre-printed ields and a ixed length. • The alignment black mark may be formed by • a black mark printed on the paper; • a hole between two tickets;...
7.1 Enable alignment The device is provided with the two following sensors for alignment shown in igure: SENSOR 1, a mobile sensor placed on the lower lat, • SENSOR 2, a mobile sensor placed on the upper lat. • For ease of understanding, all the following images represent the two lats on the same plane. Moreover, for some models is represented only the internal printer group without external plastic chassis or triple feeder. SENSOR 1 SENSOR 2 upper flat lower flat 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.

7.2 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”...

The following igure shows an example of paper with holes: the outgoing voltage is constant while passing the paper between two holes and presents a variation at each hole. 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” 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 “Black 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...
7.3 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”. The value of “black mark distance” varies from a minimum value of -5 mm to a maximum value of 66 mm. If the setup parameter "Black mark distance" value is set to 0, the alignment point is set at the beginning of the black mark (see following igure): Alignment Alignment...
Page 117
To set a negative value of "black mark distance" is useful when the alignment point refers to the black mark placed on the previous ticket or when the desiderd cutting line is placed in the middle of the alignment black mark (for example, for paper with holes or gap).

SVELTA emulation The ticket features and the alignment parameters, may be modiied as follows: • by using the parameters of the <LHT> command (refer to the commands manual of the device) by ile (see paragraph • 6.3); • by software (see paragraph 6.2). The following igure shows some of the parameters for alignment: • “Ticket X Dimension” • “Ticket Y Dimension” • “Black mark Width” •...
7.4 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; •...
