Introduction

The Thermal Security Printer – TSP-01

The TSP-01 is a multi-purpose printer that is
suitable for any application requiring quality
printing ability.

JCM provides the thermal paper specifica­tions for optimum performance (see page X),
while allowing the customer the freedom to
create a unique 4-color design on the top
surface. The thermal side is reserved for the
barcode created by the thermal printer, which
is read by bill acceptors and other barcode
reading devices. The TSP-01 uses pre-cut,
pre-printed paper that offers the following
advantages:

• No curled paper or tickets from the end of
a roll that could cause a jam when in­serted into a bill validator.

• No wasted paper such as found when
using roll or fanfold thermal paper.

• No complex paper loading procedures
such as found with rolled or fanfold
paper.

• Customers can reload the pre-cut paper at
any time to the maximum quantity.

Read-After-Write (RAW)

JCM’s RAW feature verifies the accuracy and
quality of the printed ticket prior to dispens­ing it. If the printer senses a problem, it
stores the ticket internally, and sends an error
message to the host machine. The printer
then attempts to reprint the ticket.

• No cutting device necessary within the
printer that can cause failures or malfunc­tions during operations.
