TTPM2 Technical Specification
29
paper jam when the relative humidity changes the ticket width.
A ticket width of 53.98 ± 0.2 mm gives a maximum misalign-
ment of 0.65 mm (54.38 + 0.05 – (53.98 – 0.2)).
TIP!
– Avoid designing tickets that require close alignment between preprint and thermal
print.
13.3 Magnetic
media
Magnetic stripe
Side stripe positioned according to ISO 7811/2
Center track (option)
Magnetic media
Full tape, transfer tape or slurry
CAUTION!
– In case of slurry, care must be taken to avoid excess slurry material and
abrasive particles that may cause unduly high degree of wear on the magnetic recording
and read heads in the TTPM2
Coercivity
Low: 300 Oersted
High: 2750 Oersted (option)
Other non-standard coercivities available on request
If a ticket is perforated, for stub separation for example, the perforation shall not infringe
on the magnetic track to prevent interference with magnetically encoded data.
