2 OPERATOR INTERFACE
2.1 Operator Controls and Indicators
The printer is equipped with 2 status indicators and 2 operator controls to allow the operator to know the
status of the printer at all times. The status indicators are:
•The front bezel light
•The STATUS and ERROR LEDs on the keypad
The operator controls for the printer are:
•The FEED key
•The platen release lever
Figure 2-1 below illustrates the location of these controls and displays. The purpose of this section is to
detail the operation of the printer around these displays and controls.

2.2 Printer Sensor Functions
There are 6 primary sensor functions on the PSA-66-ST printer:
•Paper out
•Paper level low
•Paper taken
•Paper jam
•Printer platen engaged
•Printer opened
These sensors work in conjunction with the game firmware to provide reliable trouble-free operation. Any
error conditions as a result of these sensors will be indicated by the front bezel light and keypad LEDs.
2.3 Paper Loading
Generally, the only service required for printer is to load new paper stacks. This section provides a step
by step description of how to load paper to the unit. The automatic paper loading feature of this system
simplifies this process to essentially two steps; putting the paper stack into the printer paper tray, and
presenting paper to the paper feed slot in the printer. The platen release lever, the paper advance button
and the cutter operate button are merely provided as supports for this process, and usually are not
required to load paper.

Follow these steps to load paper:
Pull open the printer drawer until the paper tray is completely accessible. Place the
paper stack in the printer as indicated by the band around the stack and the label in the
bottom of the paper tray.
Insert paper into the paper loading slot; the printer will automatically pull through a form
or two, leaving it registered at the top of a form. Remove the excess tickets from the
printer.
1 – insert paper stack
2 – insert paper here

2.4 Bezel Operation
The front bezel display allows the operator to determine the state of the printer on the casino floor, at a
distance, without disturbing the game. The table below lists the various conditions which the bezel
indicates.

2.5 Keypad LED Operation and Printer Status Conditions
The keypad LEDs provide a more detailed reporting of system status. Table 2-2 below lists the status of
the keypad LEDs in a variety of status which are defined following.
Table 2-2 Keypad LEDs Status Reporting
CONDITION STATUS_LED ERR_LED
Unit in Powered Off 0FF 0FF
Unit Ready ON OFF
Unit Flushed ON ON
Paper out OFF ON
Head Up OFF ON
Temperature Error OFF MED BLINK
Voltage Error OFF SLOW BLINK
Print Head Error ON FAST BLINK
Missing Black Index Mark ON FAST BLINK
Paper Jam ON FAST BLINK
Although there are a variety of error conditions which can occur, most printer errors are a result of the
printer running out of paper or the operator raising the head up lever. This section lists the possible error
which can occur, and how the condition is remedied.
PAPER OUT:This condition results when the printer detects that paper is not present. The printer scans
for a paper out condition at all times. Remedy the condition by loading a new paper stack.
HEAD UP:This condition results from lowering the head release lever. To remedy the error, it is
necessary to raise the blue lever on the side of the unit.
