I have an ex-BR Ultimatic machine which has a label showing the five fares that it issued before its removal, all Cheap Off Peak:
EPSOM 90p | EPSOM HALF 45p | WIMBLEDON £1.10 | LONDON £1.80 | LONDON HALF 90p
From those fares I’d say the machine was at either Stoneleigh or Worcester Park...
The EMR ones, if they have a maroon casing, only issue e-Tickets in the normal vertical format. They have never issued CCST tickets.
It's good that the S&B machines still have the facility to issue 'proper' tickets.
They use Cammax Smart kiosks and are in e-Ticket format, but those on Greater Anglia are Scheidt & Bachmann machines that normally issue CCST tickets. The S&B machine at Perranwell issues tickets on plain white paper, see image.

This format, first seen from around mid-July 2020 has only been seen from a handful of stations that have Scheidt & Bachmann machines. It is sporadic and has not been seen at all machines at a station.
So far v06-00 has only been seen on tickets from PICO T/O and SST, Cubic TfL TVM’s and Evolvi.

I assume the machines at those two stations are the Metric Aura, the same as that at Longcross.
On the Redbridge ticket is the station shown as REDBRIDGE 5912 01
It's not that the ticket stock has been loaded incorrectly, it has been pre-printed at 90 degrees to what it should be. A similar...
The gates let me exit the station with no problems, it's only on entry where the problem is, so it can't be not recognising Z1-6.
I did contact Southeastern via their website. Was told that my comments would be passed to the station manager (name given) "and he would make sure the self-service...
I occasionally use a Super Off Peak Travelcard for zones 1-6 from Littlehampton to Bromley South via Victoria.
On arrival at Bromley the ticket opens the gate. But on the return it doesn't and have to be let through by staff.
The error code 126 is shown on the gate indicating: "TOC ticket Origin...
I compiled a list of over 900 PERTIS machines showing the serial number when most machines were in use.
Adding those listed above shows that some machines moved around to replace faulty machines.
