Receipt Form Length

Непрочитанное сообщение ashoori »

Can we shorten the Receipt Form Length below 24 lines in Non-GDI printers, including SDC printers of Personas series? As I can see in the manuals, there are, apparently, two 24 Lines and 49 (or 55) Lines modes. And Receipt Form Length can vary from 24 to 49 (or 55) lines, by setting the DIP Switches. But can we have a form length shorter than 24 lines? For example, all the data sent from the bank to the ATM is 15 lines. The bank wants to have a shorter receipt, and the receipt paper to be cut immediately after the data completion. But it does not actually work, and the receipt length is always constant (112 mm).
We have 23 and 40 mm white space on the paper’s top and bottom margins, respectively, which cannot be removed. The total bank’s receipt length is 48 mm, but in practice, the device’s receipt length is 112 mm.

Can we benefit from an approach to remove or reduce the receipt paper’s top and bottom white margins? Are these constraints mechanical that does not allow the receipt length to be shorter than 112 mm?

Top Margin of Receipts 5
The receipt top margin can be configured through reserved screen
K01 for raw data printing or, for forms‐based printers, the following
registry entry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NCR\Advance NDC\PRINTING\Receipt Forms\
Print Data\Form Alignment
In addition, the receipt top margin can be configured through
Supervisor (option 92, RECEIPT TOP MARGIN on the Configure
menu) and the values are stored in the following registry entries:
 Raw data printing (personas printers)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NCR\Advance NDC\PRINTING\RECEIPT\
ReceiptTopMargin

 Forms‐based printing (USB printers on SelfServ SSTs)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NCR\Advance NDC\PRINTING\Receipt Forms\
ReceiptTopMargin
By default, the registry value for each is NULL (undefined). Valid
values are 0 to 24 and NULL. If a valid value is entered in Supervisor,
the registry entries are updated with the new value.
The receipt top margin can also be configured remotely through the
ReceiptTopMargin entry in UniversalPrinters.reg and
PersonasPrinters.reg.

Dear Dan,

I did not notice option 92 in the Configure Menu. Is it hidden or just available in specific AANDC versions?
I saw K01 in the Extended Screen Controls, which was related to the Receipt. However, in the Programmer’s Manual for the 40 Column Printer (B006-4612-A000), it says that the control code for the first line position is as follows with a minimum of 136:
Setting the First Line Position
Control code: 1BH 5BH 3xH,3yH,3zH 75H
On the Entry Level ATM Thermal Receipt Printer, any value smaller than ‘136’ will default to ‘136’ because this is the physical minimum top margin distance (that is, 24 mm).

For the Form Length, it says that:
Setting the Form Length
Does not apply to the Entry Level ATM Thermal Receipt Printer.

Therefore, I think I cannot make the form length shorter than 112 mm, the top margin less than 24 mm and a receipt shorter than 24 lines, and it seems that these are all the physical limitations of the printer. Have you seen an NCR printer that prints a receipt shorter than 112 mm?
