0 D 2 4 6 8
1 3 5 7 9
Setting the digit for decimals:
0 D 2 4 6 8
1 3 5 7 9
NOTES:
For example, to set the black mark distance to 15 mm, modify the parameters as follows:
BLACK MARK DISTANCE [mm x 10] = 1
BLACK MARK DISTANCE [mm x 1] = 5
BLACK MARK DISTANCE [mm x .1] = 0
If the BLACK MARK ALIGNMENT parameter is disabled, the parameters for the
BLACK MARK DISTANCE are not printed.

5.6 Hexadecimal dump
This function is used for the diagnosis of the characters received from the communications port. Characters are printed as hexadecimal code and the corresponding ASCII code (see below). Each line is preceded by a counter in hexadecimal that indicates the number of bytes received.
During the startup, if you hold down the FEED key, the printer enters the self-test routine and print the setup report.
The printer remains in standby until a key is pressed or characters are received through the communication port (Hexadecimal Dump mode). For each character sent, the receipt contain an indication of the hexadecimal and ASCII values (if the characters are underlined, the receive buffer is full). Shown below is an example of a Hexadecimal Dump:

10 ALIGNMENT
Device is provided with a sensor for the use of alignment black mark printed on paper in order to handle roll of tickets with pre-printed ields and a ixed length;
The alignment sensor assembled on the device is “relection” sensor: this kind of sensor emits a band of light and detects the quantity of light relected to it. The presence of the black mark is therefore detected by the amount of light that returns to the sensor, considering that the light is relected by the white paper and absorbed by the black mark.
The following paragraphs show how to correctly set the coniguration parameters of device in order to assure the alignment.
75
10.1 Enable alignment
Device is provided with one sensor for alignment, placed on the on the internal side of the cover for paper compartment.
To guarantee the alignment, it is necessary enable the parameter BLACK MARK ALIGNMENT during the setup procedure
(see chapter 5) and set the correct value of this parameter as described in the following table.

10.2 Calibration
The sensor calibration occurs automatically and consists in adjusting the quantity of light emitted to match the degree of whiteness of the paper used and the degree of black of the mark printed on paper.
The device automatically performs the self-calibration during the setup procedure only if the BLACK MARK ALIGNMENT parameter is set to ENABLED (see chapter 5)
When self-calibration starts, the device performs some paper feeds and then it prints the calibration result and the value of the PWM duty-cicle of the alignment sensor driver so that it can be perform an optimal black mark detection:
AUTOSETTING BLACK MARK : OK
POLARIZATION VOLT : 2.4V [75%]
The AUTOSETTING BLACK MARK parameter indicates the result of the self-calibration procedure; OK will appear if it has been successful, NOT OK will appear if the procedure has failed.
After the printing of the procedure result, the device offers the execution of the function of paper characterization CHARAC-
TERIZE PAPER and the change of the BLACK MARK THRESHOLD parameter which represents the detection threshold of the black mark. Choosing the YES value for the CHARACTERIZE PAPER, parameter, the device prints a graphic representation (see following igures) of the outgoing voltage of the alignment sensor (expressed as a percentage) and the
BLACK MARK THRESHOLD value.
This graphic representation is useful to set the most suitable value to assign to the BLACK MARK THRESHOLD parameter and then to better identify the optimal threshold value which takes into account the variations of the signal and the small oscillations around zero.
The following igure shows an example of paper with the non-thermal paper printed with black marks: the outgoing voltage is constant while passing the white paper between two black marks and presents a peak at each black mark.
In this case, the optimal value for BLACK MARK THRESHOLD parameter is placed about half of the peak
NON-THERMAL SIDE
THERMAL SIDE
The following igure shows an example of paper with the non-thermal paper printed with black marks and other graphics
(for example, a barcode): the outgoing voltage is constant while passing the white paper between two black marks, presents a peak at each black mark and presents some “noise” at each barcode. In this case, the optimal value for the BLACK
MARK THRESHOLD parameter is located about halfway between the peak value and the maximum value of the “noise”.
NON-THERMAL SIDE
Peak
BLACK MARK
THRESHOLD
THERMAL SIDE
Noise
If the maximum value of “noise” read by the sensor is very close to the peak value, it might be dificult to place the value of the BLACK MARK THRESHOLD at an intermediate point. In these cases, it is mandatory that the portion of paper between the point of printing end and the front of black mark is completely white (no graphics). In this way, the only next graphic detected by the sensor for alignment after the printing end will be the black mark.
79
10.3 Alignment parameters
The “alignment point” is deined as the position inside the ticket to use for the black mark alignment.
The distance between the black mark edge and the alignment point is deined as BLACK MARK DISTANCE.
Referring to the front of the black mark, the value of BLACK MARK DISTANCE value varies from 0 mm minimum and
22 mm maximum.
If the BLACK MARK DISTANCE value is set to 0, the alignment point is set at the beginning of the black mark.

A = distance between printing head and cutter = 13.5 mm
B = distance between printing head and alignment sensor = 15 mm
81
CUSTOM/POS EMULATION
To deine the alignment point you need to set the device parameters that compose the numerical value of the BLACK MARK
DISTANCE parameter (see par. 5.4).
For example, to set a black mark distance of 15 mm between the black mark and the alignment point, the parameters must be set on the following values:
BLACK MARK DISTANCE [mm x 10]
BLACK MARK DISTANCE [mm x 1]
BLACK MARK DISTANCE [mm x .1]
: 1
: 5
: 0
The BLACK MARK DISTANCE parameter, may be modiied as follows:
• during the setup procedure of the device (see chapter 5).
• by driver.
Using the PRINTER SET tool downloadable from the DOWNLOADS section of https://www.custom.biz site.
82
10.4 Printing area
In order to print ticket containing only one black mark and to not overlay printing to a black mark (that will make it useless for the next alignment), it is important to well calibrate the height of the printing area of the ticket according to functional the inter-black mark distance.
The following igure shows an example of tickets with BLACK MARK DISTANCE set to 0:
