This command sets the ticket length if paper without gaps or black marks is used. One
step is 0.67mm.

Select lower rear document entry
Selects lower rear document-entry and feed the leading document, in the consecutive
supply entry, to active position. If, in the preceding operation, the upper rear document
entry has been engaged, the document in that entry is retracted from the active position.
NOTE!
— When set up as a dual document entry printer, a “select rear
entry” command (!L1, !L2, !L17 or !L18) must precede the print
command (!P). An ACK character is returned if the command
was successful.
If no paper is present, the yellow indicator lights up and the printer waits until the operator
insert new paper stock.
Note that ACK/NAK signaling must be enabled (DIP switch no. 6)

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 TTPM3 front document entry/exit. At 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 entry, see page 16 for entry definition.
To speed up ticket handling, the magnetic code is read and placed in memory when
loading the ticket.
