4.3 Printing and encoding capability overview
4.3.1 Text
It is possible to print text in four fonts, in four
orientations, and in 16 different sizes.
4.3.2 Graphics
Bitmap graphics, such as logotypes, prints in the
size and orientation in which they where
downloaded. Graphics print on all following tickets
until a “Clear all” command is received, so you only
have to download graphics once.
Remember, when creating graphics for the TTPM3
printer, that the pixels are not square, but has a
height/width ratio of 1.32:1 in normal mode and
0.88:1 in high resolution mode.
4.3.3 Bar
codes
Bar code data fed to the printer are converted to an
EAN13, EAN 128, Code39, Code 128, and code
2-of-5 interleaved bar code. The bar code prints on
all subsequent tickets until a ”Clear all” command is
received, or until new bar code data with the same
coordinates and type is received.
4.3.4 Magnetic
codes
Messages can be magnetically encoded on a stripe
at the back of the ticket. The message can be
between 37 and 107 characters long depending on
the coding standard and density you select.
