Figure B2 shows how the “Notch Distance” parameter represents the distance that exists between the notch
and the desired alignment point. This parameter can have a minimum value of 0mm and a maximum of
19,9mm. In reality the maximum distance corresponds to the mechanical distance between the notch sensor
and the head, and it is for this reason that higher values are not permitted.
B.2 COMMANDS
B.2.1 Ticket alignment
The commands to manage ticket alignment are present only in ESC/POS
TM
emulation; in SVELTA emulation
are automatically performed with the printing commands <p> <P> <q> <Q>.
In ESC/POS
TM
emulation the two alignment available commands are : $1D $F6 and $1D $F8.
The command $1D $F6 performs an alignment to the print head: the paper is fed through until the print head
is at the ticket start.
The command $1D $F8 on the other hand refers to the cutter: the paper is fed through until the cutter is at
the set alignment point of the next ticket, so that a subsequent cut will occur precisely at the end of the ticket.
B.2.2 Setting the alignment distance
The “Notch Distance” parameter can be changed via the printer setup or by using the command $1D $E7 nH
nL. For further information refer to the command itself.
In SVELTA emulation the parameter used to set the alignment is not the “Notch Distance” modifi able in the
printer setup, but it is necessary setted using the command LHT.
B.2.3 Examples
N.B.: To a better comprehension, in the following fi gures, the Notch is indicated on the same
side of the printing text.
