Printer Paper

The Epson TM-T20 ticket printer supports two different paper sizes. Thermal paper with 80mm width and thermal paper with 57.5mm / 58mm width. To use the paper with a width of 57.5mm / 58mm, a so-called “spacer” is included with your printer. The “spacer” is simply inserted into the paper tray to reduce the 80mm range to a 57.5mm / 58mm range. Then the printer must be configured for the used paper width. By default, the paper width is configured for 80mm paper.

Configuration of the Paper Width

The configuration is done directly on the ticket printer by using the Feed Button. The current menu navigation will be printed in realtime.

  • Hold the Feed Button and turn on the printer. The current configuration of the printer will then be printed.
  • Hold down the Feed Button for 1 second or longer. Enter the mode selection menu.
  • Press the Feed Button 3 times, then hold down the Feed Button for 1 second or longer. This will enter the configuration menu.
  • Press the Feed Button 6 times, then hold down the Feed Button for 1 second or longer. This will enter the Paper Width menu. Here you can select the paper width which you want to use for further print-outs.

After the paper width has been configured directly on the ticket printer device, it must also be configured on the IACBOX. Therefore navigate to the WebAdmin menu Modules / Ticket Printer and configure the desired paper width.
