Preventing Printer Issues
Paper Jams: To prevent issues with the thermal printer, it is important to load the paper straight and feed a small amount through before closing the drum.
Empty Paper: Palisis strongly recommends the use of thermal paper featuring an end of roll warning stripe to avoid running out of paper mid-sale.
Paper Jam / Paper Empty
In the event that ticket printing is interrupted by a paper jam, empty paper, or some interference with the printer, the ticketing device will display a printer error message. This shows the number of prints remaining (including the receipt).
The sales user has the option to ‘Retry’ printing. The device will continue the print, but will not print a ticket if printing had already started when the error occurred. This is an anti-fraud feature, to prevent sales staff from obtaining multiple ticket prints for a sale.
