8.1.4 Ticket Width Adjustment 

To adjust the paper path for use with a different ticket width, loosen the two thumbscrews located on 
the adjustable slide block.  Slide the block to the fully open position.  Insert your ticket stock into the 
paper guide.  Slide the block to the proper ticket width setting and tighten the two thumbscrews. 

On reverse adjustable printers (RADJ), the “special head” setting on the control panel must be used 
to load the new ticket width into the printer’s memory.  No control panel adjustment is necessary on 
standard adjustable printers (ADJ).  If the printer lacks a control panel, the width adjustment can be 
made through software.  (see the 

programming guide

 for both control panel and software 

adjustments.) 

Note:  The ticket should move freely in the paper guide, do not pinch the ticket between the 
adjustable slide block and the opposite paper guide wall.
