Ticket Exit
The printed tickets are expelled from this opening.
Darkness Control
The Darkness Control will adjust the darkness of the printing on the
tickets: turning the control clockwise darkens the print and turning the
control counterclockwise lightens the print. This darkness function can
also be controlled through software commands.
Indicators
For a brief period (approximately 20 seconds) after power-up, all three
indicators will remain on while the printer performs internal diagnostics.
POWER:
Turning ‘On’ the power switch lights this indicator.
FAULT:
During normal operation, this indicator will flash briefly as
the printer receives data from the host system; however, if a
fault is detected this indicator stays on. A fault can have
several different causes; see Section 5 for details.
ON-LINE:
In the on-line mode, this indicator lights to denote that the
printer is ready to accept data. Pressing the PAUSE button
while tickets remain to print causes the indicator to flash
repeatedly. This indicator remains off in the off-line mode.
Dual-Purpose Buttons
Depending upon the printer’s mode, the buttons function as follows:

enter the off-line mode.
Press this button in pause mode to resume printing from the
point stopped; or, if in off-line mode press to return to the
on-line mode.
FEED:
Press this button to advance the ticket stock to the next print
position.
