8.1.1 Load Switch and Cut Opto
There is one micro switch located below the paper guide. This switch is used to sense the presence
of ticket stock in the printer. The switch is factory set and adjustment should not be necessary.
The load switch should be positioned such that the printer automatically activates the stepper motor
at the proper time when tickets are loaded into the printer. When loading tickets, the stepper motor
should turn on when the ticket stops in front of the thermal head. At this point, the ticket will be
grabbed out of your hand and fed into the printer.
If the stepper motor activates without ticket stock loaded into the printer or if the ticket stock is
properly loaded and the printer does not grab the ticket, the load switch should be adjusted. To
adjust the load switch, loosen the two adjustment screws and move the load switch up or down until
the desired position is reached. Tighten the two adjustment screws and load ticket stock to ensure
that the load switch is properly positioned.
