B.3.2 Dimension of tickets
It is very important to well calibrate the height of the printer area, according to the distance between the two
edges of the notch. In order not to miss a notch (a ticket must therefore contain only one notch) the following
equation must be used:
INTER-NOTCH DISTANCE>PRINTED AREA HEIGHT
where
INTER-NOTCH DISTANCE = the distance between two notch edges
The picture in fi gure B.8 shows a sequence of printed tickets aligning each one at the cut. It can be noted
that increasing the printed area will result in superimposing what is to be printed at the subsequent notch.
The size of the print area can be enlarged until it renders the alignment feed void, but not beyond.

emulation to prevent any jamming, after cut, the paper is not completely
recovered, but it remains outside the printing line of 10mm; so it’s very important to consider this
distance, in this emulation, during the ticket layout defi nition.
In SVELTA emulation, directly designed for ticketing, on the contrary the paper recovering is not
necessary, because after a cut non-printable areas are not produced.
