Introduction
This document describes installation and operation of TTPM2 Ticket Printer/Encoder, which
creates credit-card-wide documents with magnetic encoding and thermal printing.
Document Printing
TTPM2 uses the direct thermal printing technique and can print the entire thermo sensitive
surface of the document with text or graphics, or both. Text block position and orientation is
software programmable as is the character size.
A text block can be identified as either fixed information which is stored in the unit until an
”All Clear” software command is sent, or as variable information, automatically erased as
soon as printing of the document has been completed. This feature allows printing from a data
file containing the variable data information.
EAN-13, Code 39, and Code 2-of-5 interleaved bar-codes can be generated and printed.
Magnetic Encoding
Two magnetic tracks can be encoded: Either with standard low coercivity recording, or
optional “household-magnet proof” high coercivity recording.
Track Combinations
• ISO track 2 at 75 BPI (Bits Per Inch), and ISO track 3 at 210 BPI
• ISO track 1 at 210 BPI, and ISO track 2 at 75 BPI
• Center track at 75 or 210 BPI
Naturally, the TTPM2 can be used for encoding on a single track only.
Encoding in ISO standard format, or in hexadecimal format, is software selectable. Read-after-
write is automatically performed. Software selectable decode functions are available.
