A parking ticket vending machine is a hand-held, battery operated device, inside of which a

thermal printer is interfaced with the STM32 microcontroller from STMicroelectronics. This

document focuses on the STEVAL-IPC002V1 demonstration board, whose objective is to

print and generate parking tickets for different types of vehicles. The application can easily

be modified to suit other applications where paper printing is to be managed directly by the

microcontroller, such as POS-based applications, railway and bus ticket printing

applications, standalone printers, and the like.
