Operational Procedures

Loading Paper

The Epic 880 printer uses a continuous roll of POS or Lottery grade thermal paper, with specifications outlined in the chapter Epic 880TM Specifications and Requirements.

Figure 6. Auto-feeding a Paper Roll.

Instructions for auto-feeding the paper are as follows:

1.Place a roll of new paper on the spindle, with the end of the paper unloading from the back to the front of the printer, as shown in the figure.

2.Thread the free end of the paper under the top cover as shown.

3.Push the end of the paper forward until it engages the Paper Out sensor, located under the center of the top cover.

4.Paper will feed automatically, and then print and eject a test ticket.

Cleaning the Print Head

Once the unit is opened, the paper path is accessible for cleaning or clearing paper. Use a soft brush to clean the paper dust from inside the printer. The paper dust should also be removed from the sensor optics. If streaking on the printed ticket is evident, the thermal print head may need to be cleaned. This can be with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol, methanol, IPA).
