Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
The AGP-2000 Ticket Dispenser is designed for multiple uses at unattended
entrances of a parking facility. In its traditional application, the AGP-2000 is installed
at an entrance to automatically dispense a parking ticket with the date, time, ticket
number, machine number and rate code printed and magnetically encoded on the
ticket. The issuance of a ticket can be done either automatically, via an arming loop;
semi-automatically through the use of an arming loop and the push button; or
manually through the push button. Once the ticket is retrieved from the ticket
dispenser by the parking patron, the AGP-2000 opens the gate, allowing the patron to
enter the facility.
The AGP-2000 can also be configured to accept magnetically encoded contract or
monthly passcards to enter the lot. The patron inserts the passcard into the ticket
throat to be read. The AGP-2000 reads the passcard and returns it to the patron.
The AGP-2000 features standard communications ability that can be operated in an
on-line mode of operation or a non-communicating stand alone operation. The
machine features a backlit LCD display and user recordable voice prompts to provide
patron instructions and programming information.
