Description

It is a known (and sad) fact that the oid codes do not work with all printers. This is because the oid codes are very fine detailed patterns and need to be reproduced exactly by the printer. Many printers simply do not have a good enough resolution or their drivers mess around with the patterns during image processing. In the latter case, this can sometimes be circumvented by playing around with the print settings but sometimes, it simply does not work.

Before posting any problem with the pen not recognizing printed pages, please read wiki page on printer support for tttool:
https://github.com/entropia/tip-toi-reveng/wiki/Printing

Also read issues #16 and #5. They contain important printing troubleshooting tips.

If possible, please try to print the oid table you can download below:

oid-table (borrowed from tttool).

Make sure to print at 100% scale. Do not use autoscaling or fit to paper settings. When you point the pen at any of the patterns, it should say something like "Bitte installieren Sie erst die Audiodatei für dieses Produkt" or "Bitte berühre erst das Anschaltzeichen für dieses Produkt". Then at least the pen recognized that these are oid codes. If the pen does nothing, this likely means that your issue is unrelated to the software but is a problem with the printer.

If you still think it is a software issue, please report exactly (step by step) what you were doing and what (if any) messages the pen is saying. Also, provide a PDF file generated by ttmp32gme (or selecting save as PDF in your print dialog). Otherwise I cannot help you.

Unless you explicitly state that you read the wiki and this issue, I will close any issue regarding printing.
