NOTE:

THE CUTTER ASSEMBLY MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF THE PRINTER

When first powering up the printer, be aware of the following:

Wait five seconds before feeding ticket stock into the printer after power up. During this time the cutter will cycle once. If ticket stock is fed into the printer before five seconds, a ticket jam could occur.

The cutter should be blown out with air periodically to prevent debris from building up inside the cutter area. The required cleaning interval varies greatly depending on the quality of the ticket stock and the amount of paper dust entering the cutter area.

8.3 Logic Board

The printed circuit boards used in this product have been manufactured using surface mount technology. These printed circuit boards cannot be effectively repaired in the field and should be returned to the manufacturer if repair is required.

Your printer has one large printed circuit board which houses all control and power supply circuitry. ALL SERVICE SHOULD BE DONE WITH POWER OFF AND THE

AC CORD UNPLUGGED FROM THE PRINTER.

8.4 General Cleaning

The interior of the printer should be cleaned whenever there is a visible accumulation of dust. Use a small vacuum for cleaning. Be careful not to jar any of the printer’s parts loose.
