7 ALIGNMENT
Devices are provided with sensors for the alignment management in order to handle:
- rolls of tickets with pre-printed fields and a fixed length;
- rolls of labels with a fixed length.
The alignment notch may be formed by
- black mark printed on paper (see paragraph 9.7);
- gap between two labels (see paragraph 9.7);
All the alignment sensors are “reflection” sensors: this kind of sensor emits a band of light and detects the quantity of light reflected to it. The presence of the notch is therefore detected by the amount of light that returns to the sensor, considering that the light is reflected by the white paper and absorbed by the black mark.
The device that handle paper with labels, are provided with a fork sensor or a couple of facing sensors working in “transparence” mode: a beam of light is emitted by the transmitter sensor and the quantity of light which reaches the opposite receiver sensor is detected.
The presence of the gap between labels is detected evaluating the amount of light that arrives to the opposite sensor, considering that the white paper doesn't allow the beam of light to reach the receiver, whereas the translucent paper underlying (liner) lets the light to reach the receiver.
The following paragraphs show how to correctly set the configuration parameters of device in order to assure the alignment.
7.1 Enable alignment
TPTCM60IIIIL
Device is provided with a fork sensors for alignment, placed on the right side of the paper input mouth:

To guarantee the correct alignment, you must enable the parameter "Black Mark Position" during the setup procedure (see chapter 6).
If the alignment does not work properly, perform the labels gap detection sensor autoset procedure (see paragraph 7.3).
The following figure shows an example of paper with label usable with the device:

TPTCM112III, TPTCM112III STRONG CUT, TPTCM112III CL
The device is equipped with an alignment sensor that can be positioned in three different positions. In standard configuration, the sensor is positioned in position A.


To place the sensor in positions B or C, proceed as follows.
1

Unscrew the fixing screw A and remove the washer B. Move the lower paper guide away C being careful not to damage the cables.
2

Unscrew the fixing screw D and remove the alignment sensor E.

The following figure shows an example of paper with black mark usable with the device:

To guarantee the correct alignment, you must enable the parameter "Black Mark Position" during the setup procedure (see chapter 6).
TPTCM112IIIL
Device is provided with two sensor for alignment, placed as follows:
- a fixed sensor placed on the center, at the bottom of input paper mouth.
- a fixed sensor placed on the center, at the top of input paper mouth

To guarantee the correct alignment, you must enable the parameter "Black Mark Position" during the setup procedure (see chapter 6).
If the alignment does not work properly, perform the labels gap detection sensor autoset procedure (see paragraph 7.3).
The following figure shows an example of paper with black mark usable with the device:

7.2 Calibration
The sensor calibration occurs automatically and consists in adjusting the quantity of light emitted to match the degree of whiteness of the paper used and the degree of black of the mark printed on paper.
The device automatically performs the self-calibration during the setup procedure only if the "Black Mark Position" parameter is set to a value other than "Disabled" (see chapter 6).
When self-calibration starts, the device performs some paper feeds and then it prints the calibration result and the value of the PWM duty-circle of the alignment sensor driver so that it can be perform an optimal notch detection:
Autosetting Notch : OK
PWM Duty Cycle : 85.3%
The “Autosetting Notch” parameter indicates the result of the self-calibration procedure; OK will appear if it has been successful, NOT OK will appear if the procedure has failed.
After the printing of the procedure result, the device offers the execution of the function of paper characterization “Characterize Paper” and the change of the “Black Mark Threshold” parameter which represents the detection threshold of the notch. Choosing the “Yes” value for the “Characterize Paper” parameter, the device prints a graphic representation (see following figures) of the outgoing voltage of the alignment sensor (expressed as a percentage) and the “Black Mark Threshold” value. This graphic representation is useful to set the most suitable value to assign to the “Black Mark Threshold” parameter and then to better identify the optimal threshold value which takes into account the variations of the signal and the small oscillations around zero.
The following figure shows an example of paper with the non-thermal paper printed with black marks: the outgoing voltage is constant while passing the white paper between two notches and presents a peak at each black mark. In this case, the optimal value for the "Black Mark Threshold" parameter is placed about half of the peak.

The following figure shows an example of paper with the non-thermal paper printed with black marks and other graphics (for example, a barcode): the outgoing voltage is constant while passing the white paper between two notches, presents a peak at each black mark and presents some “noise” at each barcode. In this case, the optimal value for the “Black Mark Threshold” parameter is located about halfway between the peak value and the maximum value of the “noise”.

If the maximum value of “noise” read by the sensor is very close to the peak value, it might be difficult to place the value of the “Black Mark Threshold” at an intermediate point. In these cases, it is mandatory that the portion of paper between the point of printing end and the front notch is completely white (no graphics). In this way, the only next graphic detected by the sensor for alignment after the printing end will be the notch.

Click on BLACKMARK AUTOTEST.

When you use paper with label, the "alignment point" is always meant as the label edge and match with the rear front of the gap between two labels. The gap width is automatically detected and measured by the sensors of the device.

The following figures show the simplified sections of the device models with the paper path and the distances (expressed in millimeters of theoretical paper path) between the alignment sensor, the printhead, autocutter (for models with presenter) and paper output.
TPTCM112III

A = distance between printhead and alignment sensor = 34 mm
B = distance between printhead and autocutter = 17.4 mm
C = distance between autocutter and paper output = 31.4 mm
TPTCM60IIIIL

A = distance between printhead and alignment sensor = 36.5 mm
B = distance between printhead and peeler output = 47 mm
To enable the alignment management you need to enable the "Black Mark Position" as described in chapter 6.
TPTCM112III, TPTCM112III STRONG CUT, TPTCM112III CL
The "alignment point" is defined as the position inside the ticket to use for the notch alignment. The distance between the notch edge and the alignment point is defined as "Black Mark Distance".
Referring to the front of the notch, the value of "Black Mark Distance" value varies from 0 mm minimum and 99.9 mm maximum.
If the "Black Mark Distance" value is set to 0, the alignment point is set at the beginning of the notch.

The following figures show the simplified sections of the device models with the paper path and the distances (expressed in millimeters of theoretical paper path) between the alignment sensor, the printhead, autocutter and paper output.

A = distance between printhead and alignment sensor = 34 mm
B = distance between printhead and autocutter = 17.4 mm
C = distance between autocutter and paper output = 31.4 mm
To define the alignment point you need to set the printer parameters that compose the numerical value of the "Black Mark Distance" parameter. (see paragraph 6.7).
For example, to set a black mark distance of 15 mm between the black mark and the alignment point, the parameters must be set on the following values:
Black Mark Distance Sign : +
Black Mark Distance [mm x 10] : 1
Black Mark Distance [mm x 1] : 5
Black Mark Distance [mm x .1] : 0
The "Black Mark Distance" parameter, may be modified as described in chapter 6.
7.5 Printing area
TPTCM60IIIIL, TPTCM112IIIIL
In order to issue labels correctly printed and to not overlay printing to the next label (that will make it useless for the next alignment), it is important to well calibrate the length of the printing area according to the label length.
The following figure shows an example of printed labels:

H Distance between the first and the last print line, called "Height of the printing area".
L "Label length".
G Distance between two consecutive labels, called "Gap length".
D Automatic feed for alignment at the next label edge.
To use all the labels on paper, you must comply with the following equation:
The height of the printing area (H) can be increased to make the progress on alignment (D) equal to the gap length but no further.
TPTCM112III, TPTCM112III STRONG CUT, TPTCM112III CL
In order to print ticket containing only one notch and to not overlay printing to a notch (that will make it useless for the next alignment), it is important to well calibrate the length of the printing area of ticket according to the inter-notch distance.
The following figure shows an example of tickets with "Black Mark Distance" set to 0:

A "Non-printable area" = "Distance between autocutter/printhead"
where:
"Distance between autocutter/printhead" = 17.4 mm
H Distance between the first and the last print line, called "Hieght of the printing area".
L Distance between an edge of the black mark and the next one, called "Inter-black mark distance".
D Automatic feed for alignment at the next black mark.
To use all the notches on paper, you must comply with the following equation:
$$ \mathrm{H} + \mathrm{A} \leq \mathrm{L} $$
