Abstract
The invention concerns a man/machine interface method for a ticket processing device (DIS) comprising a magnetic read/write station (PIL), a thermal printing station (TT) and control means (UC), including the following steps: a) writing on the magnetic stripe of a configuration ticket at least certain operating parameters of the ticket processing device to be configured (DIS), and printing said parameters on said configuration ticket, corresponding to said configuration parameters; b) inserting the configuration ticket into the processing device to be configured; c) reading the content of the configuration ticket magnetic stripe; d) storing the configuration parameters read, thereby enabling the control means (UC) to provide the configuration for the functioning of the ticket processing device using said stored configuration parameters and an installer to be provided with a ticket configuration whereon are printed said corresponding configuration parameters.
