2 Operator Interface
This chapter covers various operations of the GEN2 printer including loading paper and clearing a
paper jam.
2.1
Operator Indicators and Controls
The GEN2 printer is equipped with status indicators and a FEED button, which allow you to
manage and interpret the operations of the printer.
The status indicators are:
The front bezel light
Keypad lights:
Ready Green
Paper Yellow
Open Orange
Fault Red
The operator control for the printer is the FEED button.

The following figure illustrates the location of these indicators and controls.

2.2
Printer Sensor Functions
There are six primary sensor functions on the GEN2 printer. These sensors work with the game
firmware to provide reliable trouble-free operation. Any error conditions resulting from these
sensors are indicated by the front bezel light and keypad LEDs.
Table 2-1 describes each of these sensors.

Sensors
Description
The Paper Out sensor is located in the print head. It terminates the print
operation when the paper has run out and checks for proper form
registration. The GEN2 ceases printing and feeding operations when it
detects a Paper Out condition. Correct a Paper Out condition by loading
more paper into the unit.
The Paper Low sensor is located in the paper well. It determines when the
paper stack has approximately 30 tickets remaining. A Paper Low condition
automatically resets once a stack with a greater height is loaded. Paper low
sensing occurs when the system is idle and takes a few seconds to detect
the new paper level.
The Paper Taken sensor is located in the chute of the GEN2 unit. It
determines when the customer has actually taken their cashout ticket.
The Drawer Open sensor is located in the paper well. It detects when the
printer is open.
The Platen Engaged sensor is located in the print head. It detects when the
printer platen is in use.
The Printer Open sensor is located in the front of the unit. It detects when
the printer clamshell is open.
Bezel Operation
Use the front bezel display to determine the state of the printer while on the casino floor, at a
distance, without disturbing the game. Table 2-2 lists the conditions indicated on the bezel display.

Printer Errors
Although there are a variety of error conditions that can occur, most printer errors are a result of
the printer running out of paper or the operator opening the ticket module lid. Table 2-4 lists
possible errors and how to remedy each condition.

Errors and Error Descriptions
Error Description
Results when the printer does not detect
paper present.
Results from opening the head release
lever or opening the ticket module lid.
Results when the printer is in over
temperature condition.
If the printer is operating in an
environment where the ambient
temperature is roughly room temperature,
this error would most likely be the result
of a hardware problem.
Results if the printer detects a power
supply voltage (+24VDC to +25VDC)
outside the legal limits.
This error could be the result of a poor
cable connection.
Results when the printer senses an
internal error due to connectivity or
interfacing problem with the thermal print
head. This can be a result of a cable
problem between the main controller
board and the printer engine.
Remedy
Load a new paper stack.
Raise the blue lever on the
side of the unit.
The printer will automatically
resume operation after the
detected head temperature
reaches legal operation limits.
The printer will automatically

resume operation after the
power supply is detected
within legal limits.
The printer will remain in this
error state until the power is
cycled or the unit is reset.
If the problem persists, the
printer will require service.

Error
Missing Black
Index Mark
Paper Jam
2.6
Error Description
Results if the paper type selected is
indexed paper and while feeding paper or
printing a black mark is not seen within
approximately 10 of the paper.
This error alerts the user to the presence
of the wrong kind of paper in the printer
or that the paper was inserted in the
wrong direction (so the black mark index
is rotated 180 degrees).
Results when the printer detects an error
in the paper path for presenting the ticket
to the customer.
Remedy
Raise the head release lever
(presumably to change the
paper).
Open the printer head and

inspect for a jammed ticket.
Loading Paper
This section provides instructions on how to load paper to the unit.

Generally, the only printer service required is to load new paper stacks. Use the automatic
paper-loading feature to simplify this process to two steps: putting the paper stack into the Paper
Tray and feeding the paper to the Paper Loading Slot of the printer.
To load paper:
1. Pull open the Printer Drawer until the Paper Tray is completely accessible.
2. Place the paper stack in the printer as indicated by the band around the stack and the label on
the bottom of the Paper Tray.
Tip: To prevent a new paper stack from sticking together, fan out the paper after you
take off the band.
Figure 2-2
Load a Paper Stack
MNL Page 5 of 48 12/01/2004

MNL-000003 REV.E

3. Feed the paper into the Paper Loading Slot and release it once the motor engages and the
printer takes hold of the paper.
The printer automatically pulls through a form or two, leaving it registered at the top of a form.
Figure 2-3
Feed Paper into Paper Loading Slot
4. Remove the excess tickets from the printer.
2.7
Feeding Paper
The GEN2 printer is designed to run with black mark indexed paper.
Use the FEED button to feed paper into GEN2. Press the FEED button to advance the paper to the
top of the next form.

Self Test
Press the FEED button during power up or reset to run a self test. This self test prints a
configuration ticket if the test passes successfully. The test ticket (illustrated in Figure 2-4) contains
important information on how the unit is configured.

Clearing a Paper Jam
The GEN2 is designed to operate reliably with minimal paper jamming. If you need to clear a paper
jam, follow the instructions below. After you clear a paper jam, perform these steps in reverse to
load paper.
When clearing a paper jam:
Ensure that all paper paths from the entry point at the back of the paper well, through the
printer, cutter, and the ticket module chute are clear of paper or obstructions.
Use the Platen Release Lever located on the top of the unit.
Do not allow a screwdriver or other probing object to come in contact with the printer. This
can cause permanent damage to the printer.
To clear a paper jam:

1. Remove the paper from the printer.
Figure 2-5
Remove the Paper
2. Open the lid by pressing the Platen Release Lever.

The spring-loaded lid opens, exposing the paper path.

3 Printer Service
This chapter provides instructions on how to remove the printer to service it outside of the game.
Note: While the printer is hot-connectable, it is still a good maintenance procedure to
turn off the power.
Important Information!
Do not remove the ground screw in the rail as it will release the internal nut!
After removing the printer, do not slide the unit on a tabletop or other surface. Doing so
will cause damage to the copper grounding clips on the bottom of the unit.

RS232 Firmware Upload Port
The Firmware Upload Port upgrades the GEN2 firmware while the printer is still installed and
powered in the game. The printer uploads through its Firmware Upload Port just as it would
through its communications connector at the rear of the unit.
To use this port, slide the printer out until the upload port (shown in the following figure) is
visible. Then plug an appropriate upgrade cable into the printer. This connection may be made
while the power is on.

Netplex Firmware Upload Port
The Firmware Upload Port upgrades the GEN2 firmware while the printer is still installed and
powered in the game. The printer uploads through its Firmware Upload Port just as it would
through its communications connector at the rear of the unit.
To use this port, slide the printer out until the upload port (shown in the following figure) is
visible. Then plug an appropriate upgrade cable into the printer. This connection may be made
while the power is on.
