PTD55 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
5 - BASIC OPERATIONS
The PTD55 contains an internal photo-sensor that acts as optical mark detector. In most cases, the
optical mark is a hole (corner cut), whereby the sensor is mechanically located at one end side of the
ticket 54mm. The PTD55 uses the space between two consecutive corners (“black mark”) to identify the
cut positioning.

Because there really is not a standard set (only the width and length: 54x85mm), there may be
numerous types of corners and joints between tickets:

NOTE: FENIX recommended to use tickets with straight cut corners (45º), as large as
possible, as in Figure 5.1.

tickets, like the following image, may not function properly.
