P1003645-001 TTPM2™ Installation and Programming Manual 03/05/2009

This command sequence will now be fully explained:

Two tracks can be encoded in the same operation unless the printer uses HiCo tickets.

!J <message> and !K <message> for encoding track 1 or 3 shall precede the !M <message>

and !N<message> for simultaneous encoding/read-after-write of message data on tracks 2 and

1/3.

Suppose you have information, such as seat number, to be printed and encoded and that the

information varies for each individual document. The information shall be placed at the same

position on all documents.

!C Clears all previously sent definitions.

!F T N 150 20 1 2 2 1

"TTPM"

Defines a print field starting at X coordinate 150,

(pixel pos. 150), Y coordinate 20 (pixel pos. 20),

with characters of double height and double width,

font 1. X-axis resolution is 7.52 pixels/mm (0.133

mm/pixel), Y-axis resolution is 5.7 pixels/mm

(0.175 mm/pixel)

!F T N 110 70 1 1 1 1

"Printer/Encoder"

Defines a print field at X pos. 110, Y pos. 70 with

standard size characters, font 1.

!M 123456789 Defines data to be encoded in ISO defined format

on ISO track 2 (or center track) magnetic stripe as

"123456789". Reads the encoded string, compares

with the input (read-after-write)

Note • For ISO encoding, start, stop and check digits, as well as synchronization zeroes are

automatically added by the TTPM2.

!P Encodes and prints the document. The "!F" definitions are now stored in

the printer. If another document with the same text and layout shall be

printed but with another magnetic data string then only the following

commands need be sent to the printer: !M987654321

!P This sequence will encode a ticket with a different number on the magnetic

stripe but will produce a print picture with the same text and layout as the

previous one.

Note • If data shall be encoded on track 1 or 3, use the applicable command !J or !K to

precede the data. The same Encoding/Read-after-Write routine applies as for track 2 (or

center track) encoding.

Note • X position range is 0–380 (at North orientation) Y position range is 0–470 for 86 mm

tickets (at North orientation)
