Introduction
0705 TTPM3 Printer/Encoder–Technical Manual 5
1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes installation and operation of TTPM3 Ticket Printer/Encoder,
which creates credit-card-wide tickets with magnetic encoding and thermal printing.
1.1 Document printing
TTPM3 uses the direct thermal printing technique and can print the entire surface of the
ticket with text, bar codes, or graphics, or any combination hereof. Text block position and
orientation is software programmable as is the character size.
The data sent to the printer is converted to a ticket image which is stored in the unit until
an ”All Clear” software command is sent, or the power is turned off/on.
1.2 Magnetic encoding
Three magnetic tracks can be encoded: Either with standard low coercivity recording, or
optional “household-magnet proof” high coercivity recording.
ISO track version1: ISO track 1 at 210 BPI
ISO track 2 at 75 BPI (Bits-Per-Inch)
ISO track 3 at 210 BPI
Center track version: 7 mm wide center track at 75 or 210 BPI
The TTPM3 can be used for encoding on one, two, or three tracks simultaneously.
Read-after-write is automatically performed.
You can also enter an already encoded ticket into the TTPM3 and read the magnetic
stripe and output the data to the host computer.
See also “Magnetic encoding- and decoding-related commands” on page 42.
1.3 Document handling
TTPM3 printer has two rear inputs for ticket stock. Both can take continuous ticket stock
like fanfold or roll ticket material. You can configure the printer so that one is used for
continuous stock and the other is used for handfed tickets.
There is an optional front load mechanism that makes it possible to load single tickets
through the ticket exit. This replaces the upper ticket entry at the rear of the printer. In
addition to this, the front load has a wastebasket function for redirecting used or invalid
tickets to a wastebasket, thus preventing useless tickets being presented to the customer.
You can select to partially eject the ticket so that the customer takes it from the frontload
mechanism, or fully eject the ticket so that it falls into a tray. You can also select that a
ticket should be redirected to a wastebasket as described above.

Encoding in ISO standard format, or in hexadecimal format (bit-by-bit), is software selectable.

Installation

2.1 Installing a desktop printer
1. Connect the cable from the power supply to the connector at the back of the printer.
2. Connect the power supply to a line outlet with safety ground. The ground potential
should be the same as for the host computer. If ground potentials differ, use a short
distance modem between the computer and the printer.
3. Connect a serial cable between the COM port of the host computer and the serial
input of the TTPM3 printer. For pin assignment, see page 70.
4. Turn on the printer. The blue and green indicators should light up.
5. Press the front button. The green indicator starts flashing and the yellow indicator
lights up, indicating “Out of Paper”.
6. Turn the tickets so that the magnetic stripe is on the left side facing downwards, as
seen from the front of the printer.
7. Insert tickets in the lower document entry. The printer feeds the tickets forward and
cuts and ejects one ticket.
The printer is ready for use.
2.1.1 Network option
If the printer is equipped with a network card only network interface should be used.
1. Open the cover
2. Insert the network cable in the hole at the rear of the cover.
3. Connect the cable to the TCP/IP connector at the rear of the network card.
4. Take out the configuration ticket that sits in the holster on the side of the network card.
5. Start a web browser and enter the IP address printed on the configuration card, for
example http://192.168.0.52
Installation
8 TTPM3 Printer/Encoder–Technical Manual 0705
6. Now the server in the TTPM shows. Here you can set new address and print a new
configuration card:
7. If you have problem finding the TTPM from your PC, please check that the PC uses
the same third digit in the IP number as the printer does, for example: 192.168.0.52. If
this digit differs, please temporarily change it to the same third digit as on the
configuration card. Then connect to the printer and give the printer a new IP address
that works in your network environment.
NOTE! – The serial connector on the back of the printer is used by the network card, so
you cannot run both interfaces at once.
2.1.2 Testing
If you want to test the printer through the network you can use the SwcSockTerm.exe
utility program that allows you to send command scripts and binary files to the printer.

2.1.3 Output tray or nozzle?
The output nozzle is used if the operator only prints one ticket at a time and should take
the ticket from the printer.
The output tray collects the printed and coded tickets in a neat stack. Use the tray if you
intend to print many tickets at a time.
1. If an output nozzle is fitted, press it out from behind and remove it
2. Loosen the two screws in the front a couple of turns
3. Hook the tray onto the screws and tighten them
4. Press tray downwards so it is securely fastened

2.2 Installing an OEM printer mechanism
The TTPM3 OEM printer mechanism should be installed in some kind of enclosure such
as a self-service kiosk.
Preventing ESD and earth currents from affecting the printer operation requires proper
connection of the printer chassis to protective earth through a mounting platform or
through a separate earth conductor.
Trouble free printer operation also requires the printer’s optical sensors to be shielded
from ambient light.
Additional space is required for paper stock and handling. Consider mounting the printer
on a movable platform so that the printer can be maintained outside the printer enclosure.
