This command lifts the print head for a specified time, to permit document insertion through
the TTPM2 front document entry/exit. At the same time, any document in active position is
retracted. The document inserted in the front document input/exit is loaded into
the printer and
placed in active position in the upper entry, see
Single-Ticket Handling on page 71 .
To speed up ticket handling, the magnetic code of track two is read and placed in memory
when loading the ticket. !D will read track two data from memory without having to move the
ticket. Reading track one (!D1), or track three (!D3), requites a ticket read movement (from
active position, to the output module, and back again).
On error, the TTPM2 sends the following error codes to the host computer:
A front loaded document resting in active position can be processed using one of the following
alternatives:
• Using the appropriate decode command !D, !D1, !D3 or !O.
• Using print parameter format command !F and applicable encoding command !I, !J, !K,
!M or !N, followed by print command !P.
• Document Related Commands !E, !L4 and !L5.
A document positioned in the active position is ejected through the front document entry,
without encoding or printing.
Compare with the !E command that ejects the document through the upper rear document
entry.
Only for printers with front load 2 (with waste bin): This command transports the ticket from
active position to the waste bin. The same function can be obtained for cancelled tickets if
character ”@” or a “}” is inserted into the string of data to be encoded.
!L3 Load document from front entry (front load printers only)
