MAINTENANCE

REPLACING THE SACK

The sack for collecting the destroyed tickets is in the lower door of themachine, fixed to the flowing support. Pull out the support and take out the fullsack. Fix the new sack to the support and re-insert it in its place.

The content of the sack is recyclable material and has to be put in theappropriate containers for the paper.

REPLACING THE PAPER FOR THE PRINTER

If the roll of paper is over, the display will show error n. 1. To replace it, followthese instructions:

Open the upper door, the machine will go off (the possible countedtickets wont be lost).

Take out the iron flat support to make the operations easier Turn on the machine by pulling out the upper security switch (Image 5) Move the green lever for the lifting of the printer (Image 6) Take from the back the left paper Move the green lever to its original position (Image 6) Unroll about 20 cm of paper from the new roll, and make sure the edgeof the paper is perfectly cut, without borders, and the cut is

perpendicular to the papaer itself. Insert the paper in the rear hole and wait for the printer to load and to

cut it automatically. Place the roll in the roll-holder Close the door

ELIMINATING PAPER BLOCKAGES

In normal conditions and with the new roll, the green and the yellow leds ofthe printer must be lighted in a stable mode. If the red led is on, this meansthat the roll is finishing (the printing can continue but cant if the paper isntenough). If the yellow led flashes, there is a misfunctioning in the printer andin particular:

The printer is up: the lifting lever is moved towards outside (Image 6) The paper is blocked

To eliminate a blockage follow these instructions: Lift up the printer by moving the green lever (Fig.6) Take the paper from the back, and then re-load it as seen in the

paragraph above


14/24

If the problem continues, control that there arent pieces of paper in theway of the paper. To do this move the lower sblocking lever (Image 6)and lift up the front part of the printer (Image 7).

Eliminate any possible piece of paper in the way Re-block the front part of the printer Load the paper as seen in the paragraph above

CLEANING THE DRAGGING AND CUTTING GROUP

Because of the quantity of tickets treated, the cleaning of the dragging andcutting group should be done at least once a week.

Turn off the machine Dismount the upper part of the dragging group (Images 1-2) Verify that thare arent pieces of tickets in the dragging way and in the

cutting group (Image 3) If necessary, dismount the cutting group by pulling it up (Image 4).

Clean the group and re-mount it. Clean the surfaces of the sensors with a soft brush or a duster (Image

3). Use only methylated spirit, dont use solvents. Re-mount the group of the sensors Turn on the machine

SENSIBILITY REGULATION

The machine is equipped with 4 sensors, 3 for the tickets counting and one forthe sack. Every sensor has an indipendent sensibility regulation: this regulationis done by the constructor and normally doesnt have to be modified. If thereare very hard to read tickets (with black patches in the center) there might bethe necessity to adjust the sensibility of the central sensor, the one for thecounting. If the reading is difficult the machine is frequently in alarm and thecounting is incorrect. Follow these instructions:

Deactivate the control of the lenght of the tickets (switch n.8 in OFFposition)

Adjust the trimmer in the group of the sensors (Fig.2) by turning it andby inserting a known number of tickets

When there arent counting errors, the calibration is done. Reactivate thecontrol of the lenght and, if necessary, do again the calibration of thelenght itself as explained in the related paragraph.
