5 Paper Specification
Selecting the Right Thermal Paper
The color processing in thermal printing is generated in
the coating itself, making the thermal paper part of the
printing system and decisively affecting the overall
result. The wrong thermal paper or one of minor quality
can damage a printer within a short period of time. Only
specified papers guarantee that the indicated life time
is to be achieved.
Many mistakes can be made when printing on thermal
paper.
We have been successfully cooperating with
companies that have a lot of experience with the
technology and that are very familiar with our printers.
Rules for Printing on Preprinted Paper
1. Ink application in the areas for printing should be
kept to a minimum, preferably zero.
2. Only use specified thermal printing ink with a
minimum temperature tolerance of 230°C.
3. Sensitive, metallic and luminescent ink may not be
printed on. Hologram film should also be placed
outside of the print layout.
4. The thermal output (blackening = 20) has to be
reduced, and a different printer setting may have to
be selected. Please contact GeBE for details.

5.3 Ticket size - set black mark
The printer is factory preset for the use of GeBE
standard ticket GPL-CARD01-082-150-100:
Parameter
16 := 254 - maximum ticket length = 254 mm
17 := 10 - minimum black mark length = 10 dot lines
18 := 112 - length till paper end detection = 14 mm
19 := 28 - black mark position
34 := 80 - distance print head - cutter = 10 mm
For most tickets, parameter 19 has to be changed only.
Tolerances in imprinting black marks or in the sensor
system can cause the need of readjusting each new
paper stable. To simplify this setting, GeBE offers a
little tool: "setcutposition.exe".
Alternatively also the "GeBE Toolbox" or "WinZ1" can
be used to process this adjustments.
