•
Ticket ejected after printing
•
Next ticket starts to encode
and verify magnetics data
(note: this step is bypassed
if valid data is not received
from CPU prior to this point)
•
Current ticket ejected
•
Next ticket starts encoding
•
Current ticket ejected after
printing, while next ticket
completes mag verification
•
Next ticket starts encoding
(NOTE: The “next ticket starts
encoding” function will eventually
be performed while the ticket is
being printed)
•
Repeat “ticket moves
through print station” step
Please note that the Mag/Lemur-M’s multiple ticket mode is significantly faster than other modes of
operation. However, the multiple ticket mode requires the new ticket data to arrive at the printer prior
to printing the previous ticket data.
COMMAND FORMATS and COMMUNICATIONS
• All printing related commands will be handled in accordance with BOCA’s FGL IV programming
guide.
• Any error in writing to the magnetic strip will cause the printer to automatically print a “void” ticket.
• To print a ticket without magnetics, just send a valid ticket with a print command. The printer will
automatically bypass the encoding operation.
• All transmissions to and from magnetics will be as defined below. These functions will follow
normal FGL formats.
