Bill Acceptor
9.3.4 Bill Acceptor Jams
If a jam occurs, the unit is usually able to clear itself within a short period as an
automatic process comes into effect. The unit runs the motor forward and then
reverses in an attempt to clear the jam. This routine continues for five attempts.
Should the jam persist, a fault message is initiated and a machine lockup occurs.
The scanning and transport channel of the bill acceptor passes currency in a direct
process to the stacker. Should a bill become lodged within the scanning channel, the
following steps will enable the jam to be cleared:
1. Open the gaming machine main door.
2. Switch OFF the power switch.
3. It may be possible to clear the jam while the unit is in position:
Pull the bezel section forward to open the upper guide, and
•
Remove any obstruction from the bill channel.
•
4. If this fails to remove the jam:
Remove the bill acceptor from the housing as previously described.
•
Open the upper guide to gain complete access to the bill channel.
•
Remove any obstruction from the channel.
•
5. Replace and reconnect the bill acceptor.
9.4 Care and Maintenance

9.4.1 Periodic Maintenance

Occasional wiping of the plastic bezel surface is all that is required to remove surface
deposits and smudges. A soft cloth dampened with a 90% solution of isopropyl
alcohol is recommended for cleaning.
Caution must be exercised not to flood the bezel area with liquids due to
the electronics in the bezel unit and because liquids must not seep down
into the bill acceptor units below the bezel area.
Do not use a solvent other than isopropyl alcohol as permanent damage
to the bezel assembly and other items may result.
