Why System Integrators Choose KP347-V

Many self-service kiosk projects do not fail because the printer cannot print.

They fail because of practical deployment issues:

• Paper rolls need to be replaced too frequently
• Users pull tickets before printing is completed
• Ticket outlets become blocked
• Paper jams increase maintenance visits
• Kiosk software cannot confirm whether the ticket has been taken
• Ticket length positioning is not accurate enough

KP347-V is designed to help solve these real-world kiosk printing problems.

Its large paper roll support, sensor structure, auto cutter and black mark function make it suitable for unattended ticket and receipt output in public environments.

Parking Payment Kiosks

Parking payment kiosks require reliable ticket and receipt printing, especially in unattended locations.

KP347-V supports paper rolls up to Ø160mm, helping reduce paper replacement frequency and maintenance visits. Its anti-block and anti-drag sensors also help improve reliability when users interact with the ticket outlet.

Recommended hardware combination:

• SNR-KP347-V 80mm Kiosk Thermal Printer
• SNR-IBC-N8 Fanless Industrial PC
• Fixed Mount Barcode Scanner
• Payment Terminal Module

Ticket Vending Machines

Ticket vending systems often require accurate ticket length control and stable cutting performance.

KP347-V supports black mark detection, allowing the printer to detect ticket positioning marks and control paper feeding, printing and cutting more accurately. The manual describes the black mark function as a way for the printer to search for the black bar to determine when to stop feeding paper, printing and cutting.

Typical applications include:

• Transportation ticket vending machines
• Attraction ticket vending machines
• Public service ticketing terminals
• Park and venue ticketing systems

Queue Management Systems

Queue management systems used in banks, hospitals, service centers and government offices require fast and stable queue ticket output.

KP347-V supports 80mm paper, 170mm/s printing and auto cutting, making it suitable for queue ticket printing in high-traffic environments.

The anti-drag sensor is especially useful because users may pull tickets before printing is fully completed. This sensor helps reduce ticket jam risks in public self-service environments.

Visitor Management and Information Kiosks

KP347-V can also be used in visitor registration terminals, self-service information kiosks and service confirmation terminals.

Typical outputs include:

• Visitor receipts
• Queue numbers
• Registration slips
• Service confirmation tickets
• Access instruction receipts

When combined with an industrial PC, scanner and card dispenser, KP347-V can become part of a complete visitor management or kiosk hardware platform.

KP347-V vs Traditional Kiosk Printers

Many traditional kiosk printers only provide basic printing and cutting functions.

KP347-V adds several features that are important for unattended self-service systems.

For unattended terminals, these functions help reduce service interruptions and improve the stability of ticket output.

Key Features

80mm Thermal Printing

KP347-V uses dot line thermal printing and supports 80mm paper width with 72mm print width.

170mm/s Print Speed

The printer supports up to 170mm/s printing speed, suitable for ticketing and receipt applications.

Large Ø160mm Paper Roll

KP347-V supports paper rolls up to Ø160mm, making it suitable for long-term unattended deployment.

Auto Paper Loading

Automatic paper feeding helps service personnel replace paper more efficiently and reduces maintenance time.

Full Cut and Partial Cut

The printer supports both full cut and partial cut, allowing flexible ticket and receipt output formats.

Black Mark Detection

Black mark detection supports fixed-length ticket printing and accurate cutting position control.

Ticket Taken Sensor

The ticket taken sensor detects whether the terminal user has removed the printed ticket. This helps kiosk software manage the next operation step more reliably.

Anti-Block Sensor

The anti-block sensor detects ticket outlet blockage and helps remind users or service teams to check the kiosk ticket exit area.

Anti-Drag Sensor

The anti-drag sensor helps reduce ticket jam problems caused by users pulling unfinished tickets during printing.

RS232 and USB Interfaces

KP347-V supports RS232 and USB communication, making it suitable for different kiosk controller platforms.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Integration Notes

KP347-V is designed for front panel mounting in kiosk cabinets. The integrated vertical paper roll bracket makes it easier to install the paper roll inside the kiosk structure.

For the KP347 version, the manual notes that users need to design their own paper roll bracket and roll spindle. This makes KP347 more suitable for customized mechanical integration, while KP347-V is more suitable for projects requiring a ready-to-integrate paper roll bracket.

Power Supply

The printer requires DC24V ±10% power input. The manual also notes that power should be switched off before plugging or unplugging interfaces.

Communication

KP347-V supports:

• RS232
• USB

For RS232 integration, the manual notes that the provided RS232 cable uses a non-standard pin definition and should not be replaced with a normal serial cable.

Paper Loading

When loading paper, the thermal coating side should face upward. The manual specifically highlights this paper loading direction to ensure correct printing performance.
