B.3.3 Dimension of tickets
It is very important to well calibrate the height of the printer area, according to the distance between the two
edges of the notch.
In order not to miss a notch (a ticket must therefore contain only one notch) the following equation must be
used:
INTER-NOTCH DISTANCE>PRINTED AREA HEIGHT + NON-PRINTABLE AREA
where
INTER-NOTCH DISTANCE = the distance between two notch edges
NON-PRINTABLE AREA = cutter-head distance
The picture in fi gure B.12 shows a sequence of printed tickets aligning each one at the cut. It can be noted
that increasing the printed area will result in superimposing what is to be printed at the subsequent notch.
The size of the print area can be enlarged until it renders the alignment feed void, but not beyond. It is very
important never to forget about the non-printable area that corresponds to the cutter-head distance and is the
result of every cut.
