Printing
The printing sequence starts with the leading edge of the media resting at the cut position
after loading media or printing a previous receipt. The printer begins printing the page
upon completion of the transfer of the image to the printer. When the page has finished
printing, the printer cuts the receipt to finish.
The printer then presents the receipt to the kiosk client. When the client pulls the receipt,
the printer immediately detects the roller movement and causes the printer to accelerate
the receipt out of the printer. This helps prevent damage to the receipt.
Looping Presenter
The looping presenter mechanism has many benefits:
• It handles documents of various lengths by storing the printed paper in a loop.
• It holds the printout until fully printed and cut before presenting the completed printout
to the customer. This eliminates issues many other printers have when the kiosk client
tries to remove media before printing has finished.
• A portion of the printout is presented. When the customer takes the receipt, the printer
detects a movement and issues the rest of the receipt at 300 mm/s to help ensure
receipt is removed undamaged. The amount of media presented can be customized
to account for differences in the thickness of the kiosk wall.
