2.2.2- PAPER GUIDE SYSTEM
When using this system, the printer must be set quite near the front side of the user’s
chassis. The paper guide is to avoid external handling of the printer outlet.
Two points must be assured to make this system work right:
•
Special care in the design of the part which goes from the printer outlet to the
paper guide (Paper jams can a occur due to an inappropriate design).
Depending on the construction materials, care must be taken with static
electricity; otherwise tickets may get stuck in the paper guide and never
reach the receptacle.
•
As the printer is placed very near the user’s chassis, some system must be
implemented in order to move the printer when accessing the printing head
(i.e. giving the fixing holes of the chassis an oval shape to allow the printer
moving forward and backward). Otherwise there will be no access to the
printing head.
Next figure shows an scheme of this system:
Fig. 2.7-
Paper guide system.
The distance between the mechanism
and the frontal side of the user’s
chassis may not allow the opening of
the printer thermal head. To avoid this,
one solution is to design the fixing
holes of the TK41 with an oval shape,
so as the machine can move backward
and forward to access to its head-up
lever.
