TTPM2 Installation and Programming Manual
September, 99
See alternative command !L17.
!L2
Select upper rear document entry (dual entry printers only)
Same function as !L1, but selects upper rear document entry.
See alternative command !L18.
!L3
Load document from front entry (front load printers only)
This command lifts the print head for a specified time, to permit document insertion
through the TTPM2 front document entry/exit. A the same time, any document in active
position is retracted. The document inserted in the front document input/exit is loaded into
the printer and placed in active position in the upper track, see page 44 for track definition.
To speed up ticket handling, the magnetic code of track two is read and placed in mem-
ory when loading the ticket. !D will read track two data from memory without having to
move the ticket. Reading track one (!D1), or track three (!D3), requites a ticket read
movement (from active position, to the output module, and back again).
On error, the TTPM2 sends the following error codes to the host computer:
Error code
Error
NAK+B
No document is inserted within 60 seconds. Command !L3 is abandoned.
NAK+C
A document is inserted and immediately retracted.
NAK+D
A document is inserted, but the TTPM2 is blocked (paper jam)
NAK+E
Paper jam in the input feeder during an !L3 command.
A front loaded document resting in active position can be processed using one of the fol-
lowing alternatives:
•
Using the appropriate decode command !D, !D1, !D3 or !O, followed by print (!P).
•
Using print parameter format command !F and applicable encoding command !I, !J, !K,
!M or !N, followed by print command !P.
•
Document related commands !E, !L4 and !L5.
!L4
Eject document through front document entry (front load printers only)
A document positioned in the active position is ejected through the front document entry,
without encoding or printing.
Compare with the !E command that ejects the document through the upper rear docu-
ment entry.
!L5
Eject document into waste bin (front load 2 printers only)
Only for printers with front load 2 (with waste bin):
This command transports the ticket
from active position to the waste bin. The same function can be obtained for cancelled
tickets if character ”@” is inserted into the string of data to be encoded.
