Printer Installation
Loading Individual Tickets in the Ticket Printer
Self-Test Printouts
2-14
Instructions are given for loading individual tickets. If fanfold, continuous-feed
tickets are used, they should be loaded as directed in the printer manual for tractor-
feed paper.
NOTE: To print on these tickets, the printer cable must be connected to the Ticket
Printer Connector.
1. Be sure that the printer is turned OFF and the printer cable is connected to the
Ticket Printer connector on the back of the instrument. If the connection is
incorrect, turn the instrument power OFF, change the position of the cable
and turn the power back ON.
2. Set the ribbon cartridge headgap lever to adjust for the thickness of the
tickets. Refer to the printer manual for detailed instructions.
3. Move the paper selection lever to the rear position to select single-feed paper.
4. Open the access cover and be sure the guide wire on the paper separator is
pushed back into the locked position.
5. Raise the separator to its upright position.
6. Place a ticket on the paper separator and adjust the guides so that they barely
touch the edges of the ticket.
7. Pull the bail lever forward. The ticket will automatically feed into place.
Release the bail lever.
8. Be sure the printer is deselected (Sel indicator is not illuminated). Set the Top
of Form by pressing and holding the TOF/Quiet key and pressing the Form
Feed key to move the ticket up or pressing the Line Feed key to move the
ticket down. (The ticket moves in very fine increments so it can be precisely
positioned.)
NOTE: The ticket will only move down to a certain point to prevent
potential ticket jams. Do not move the top of the page below the
paper bail.
9. Position the ticket so that the lower red line on the paper shield (located
between the print head and the paper) is positioned where the first line of
printing should occur.
NOTE: When the Top of Form is set, the position is retained in the printer
memory until it is reset.
10. Press the Sel key to select the printer. The printer is now ready to print.
Run any self-test printouts indicated in the printer manual before using the Ticket
Printer for the first time. These self-tests may be run any time to verify proper
printer operation.
