3.2 Features of the Sprite
The Unit offers unique advantages and outstanding features to the travel industry.
Simple Operation
While the Unit has many advanced and sophisticated features, its user friendly design makes it easy to use. Most
common setup and operating functions are performed through the Control Panel push-buttons and Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD).
Magnetics Capability (Optional)
The Unit has the capability to record data on ATB tickets with magnetic stripes. The Unit’s magnetic encoding
conforms to International Air Transport Association (IATA) specification 1722c, Attachment C. The Unit’s magnetic
encoder is also capable of SCN pre-read (before print, encoded, burst operations) if required.
Ticket Stock
The Unit uses fan-folded, ATB direct thermal stock, user selectable 8-inch or 7 3/8-inch length. The 2 external stock
input bins (A and B) are located on the rear panel of the Unit and are directly accessible by the operator. Two standard
1,000 coupon ticket boxes can be placed behind the enclosure to feed the input bins.
Exit Bin
The exit bin holds approximately 50 coupons. The Unit will automatically stop printing documents when it senses a
bin full condition. Removing the printed coupons from the exit bin will typically restart the print process automatically
unless custom firmware requires operator intervention.
