1 .9 In serting a Ticket into the GS8920.
The GS8920 Ticket Printer may be used with any tickets conforming to the overall sizes shown in the
Ticket Layout Drawing
. The ticket may be single, double or triple copy construction provided that it
does not exceed a maximum thickness of 0.35mm.
The GS8920 may be set up on installation to produce up to 3 copies plus one original of each ticket. (
Does not apply to list printouts).
A ticket may
ONLY
be inserted into the GS8920 Ticket Printer when the ticket feed pinch rollers are
OPEN
. If the rollers are closed then operation of the
FEED
key will cause the GS8920 to open the
rollers.
A ticket is inserted by placing it upon the ticket platform from the front of the GS8920 and gently
pushing it towards the rear and the right until it stops against the rear ticket stop and the right hand
ticket guide. Alternatively a ticket may be inserted by placing it upon the document table with the front
of the ticket sufficiently towards the rear of the GS8920 that it is past the ticket stop and then sliding
the ticket to the right up against the right hand ticket guide.
The actual placement of the ticket within the GS8920 is not important as the GS8920 automatically
moves the ticket to the correct position prior to printing. The ticket MUST simply be inserted so that it
is against the right hand ticket guide and at least as far into the mechanism as the ticket stop.
The GS8920 will position the ticket on commencement of a print and will eject it at the end of a print
as programmed by the installation engineer during digital setup of the GS8920.
When the GS8920 is printing a report or if a ticket has not been inserted prior to operating a key that
requires a printout, then the GS8920 signals that it requires a ticket by displaying the message
PAPEr
and awaiting the proper insertion of a ticket followed by operation of the
FEED
key.

The GS8920 Ticket Printer has been designed to operate properly on a normal mains electrical supply
and incorporates modern techniques of mains supply filtration and dropped cycle protection in addition
to a watchdog circuit which automatically resets the GS8920 Ticket Printer on mains corruption. There
is a limit of mains supply noise, dropped cycles and voltage variations beyond which the GS8920
Ticket Printer will cease to properly operate. In this event investigation will be required.
