15.5.2 Printing
Batch (NTEP) tickets can be printed in several ways:
• Automatically, when the batch ends or when a discrete event occurs
• Manually, using the display or a discrete input
Only one batch (NTEP) ticket can be printed at a time; the Number of Tickets parameter is not
applied.
The custody transfer transaction ends when the first batch (NTEP) ticket is printed for the current
batch. This is true even when the batch is ended, the target is increased, and the batch is then resumed.
In this case, all tickets will contain identical custody transfer data, even though the batch data may
have changed.
