The TTPM2 printers are produced and calibrated for the customers ticket stock. To en-
sure accurate ticket issuing, we do require 100 tickets of the customer ticket stock for
each ordered printer.

Coating and preprint
Thermal coating
Shall meet or exceed the ANSI 3.11 specification
Smoothness:
Max. 75 Sheffield units
Properties:
Same as fax grade 3
Top coating
The thermo-sensitive surface of the document stock can be
provided with a protective UV or moisture proofing top coating.
Preprint
Tickets can be preprinted on one or both sides.
Ink for thermo-sensitive side: Laser printer approved ink with-
out whiteners
Ink for magnetic stripe side: Offset ink
CAUTION!
– Never use abrasive inks as they reduce the life of the thermal print head.
Thermal print to preprint alignment
Tolerances in the printer, and in the ticket stock itself, can
cause misalignment between the preprint of the ticket stock and
the thermal print. The ticket guides in the printer are adjusted to
54.38 ± 0.05 mm. Narrower adjustment tolerances would cause
