Paper blockages are virtually non-existent but, in the rare event of
such a happening, releasing the print head (see Section 6) gives easy
access to the paper path.

Paper Control Components
There are two paper control components: -
a.
a sync wheel and sensor that detect the speed of movement of
the paper, i.e. as the ticket roll gets less, the sync wheel, which
is attached to the paper spigot, turns faster and this speed is
used by the software to calculate the amount of paper left on
the roll. A “paper low” indication and the number of tickets left
can be displayed to the operator.
b.
a paper out microswitch, which is fitted inside the printer
mechanism, detects when there is no paper running through the
printer head.

Data Back-up module
The SD memory card slot, situated on the right hand upper side of the console is
accessible when the hinged lid is opened and then the console access cover is
removed. It provides the facility for data backup (up to 2Gb presently, but with
higher density cards in the future this could increase up to 8Gb). Industrial grade
only SD cards should be used. Parkeon accepts no responsibility for customers who
choose to use commercial SD cards. Viewing from the front of the Wayfarer 6,
insert the SD card into the slot ensuring that the gold contacts are facing towards
the display (away from the printer). The angled edge should be on the bottom
right hand side.
3.4.6
Card Reader
The antenna PCB is secured to the underside of the hinged lid. The antenna board
circuitry senses the presence of a smart card and reads the data on it. The data is
then passed to the control PCB via the interconnecting cable assemblies.
3.4.7
GPS (Optional at build)
To ensure that the GPS performance is not impaired we recommend that
consideration is given to locating the ETM (whenever possible) in an area away
from noisy electrical equipment and in a position that gives the GPS antenna an
uncluttered view of the sky. The GPS antenna is mounted to the inside face of the
end panel and faces upwards. It is protected by a plastic cover. The GPS module (if
fitted) is soldered to the console control PCB.
3.4.8
3G/4G (Optional at build)
The 3G/4G antenna is located in the inside face of the end panel moulding. The
3G/4G PCB fits onto the underside of the console control PCB.
