The parameters are listed as key/value pairs where the key is the parameter number and the value are the actual parameter value. There is also a min/max setting for each parameter and a description for the service-menu printer-setup.
description
| Description: | A description of the attribute. |
id
| Description: | The ID of the attribute. |
value
| Description: | The value of the attribute. |
The following printer attributes can be set:
16
| Description: | Ticket length – In mm. If blackmark mode is on this value, sets how long the printer will look for blackmark before stopping. The value should be higher than the distance between the black marks. If blackmark mode is off this value will be the fixed length of the ticket. A value of 0 means dynamic ticket length and the printer will cut the ticket when there is nothing more to print. |
19
| Description: | Blackmark offset – In pixel lines (=1/8 mm per pixel). Defines how long the paper will be fed after a blackmark has been detected. |
20
| Description: | Blackmark mode |
0 = Blackmark mode off
3 = Blackmark mode on
22
| Description: | Print speed – Sets the printing speed. The speed will be the value * 2 in mm/s. So setting a value of 40 gives a printer speed of 80 mm/s. |
28
| Description: | Presenter loop mode |
131 = Loop enabled
135 = Loop disabled (the paper will be fed straight through the presenter).
7 = Presenter disabled. Set this value if the presenter has been removed from the printer.
Note! Flowbird recommends that loop is used.
29
| Description: | Presented ticket length – Sets the presented length of the ticket, which will be the value * 2 in mm. Therefore, a value of 30 will give a presented ticket length of 60 mm. A value 0 will set the minimum presented length. |
3
| Description: | Blackening – The printing blackening level. A higher value gives a darker print. |
34
| Description: | Distance Print head – cutter standard setting:= e.g. Piano = 80d |
At „End of Ticket Cut“ command, this parameter defines how many dotlines a ticket is transported forward and reverse. The gear clearance is adjusted automatically. If a ticket should be cut at print position and directly afterwards retracted to print position, parameter 34 has to be set equal to distance printhead - cutter
76
Presenter speed – Sets the speed of the presenter motor. The speed will be the value * 2 in mm/s. So, setting a value of 200 gives a presenter speed of 400 mm/s.
Example:
<PRINTER>
<gpt4672 retractEnabled="false">
<parameters>
<parameter id="3" value="25" description="Blackening"/>
<parameter id="22" value="35" description="Print speed"/>
<parameter id="28" value="3" description="Blackmark mode"/>
<parameter id="16" value="140" description="Ticket length"/>
</parameters>
</gpt4672>
</PRINTER>
| Note:
To turn off the printer power after a purchase, set the turnOffPrinterPowerAfterPurchase attribute in CORE to true.
Do this only if you run the CWT on solar power |
