Printer Errors
Although there are a variety of error conditions that can occur, most printer errors are a result of the
printer running out of paper or the operator opening the lid. Table 2-4 lists possible errors and the
remedy for each condition.
Loading Paper
Generally, the only printer service required is to load new paper stacks. Use the automatic
paper-loading feature to simplify this process to two steps: putting the paper stack into the Paper
Tray and feeding the paper to the Paper Loading Slot of the printer.
To load paper:
1. Pull open the Printer Drawer until the Paper Tray is completely accessible.
2. Place the paper stack in the printer as indicated by the band around the stack and the label on
the bottom of the Paper Tray.
Tip: To prevent a new paper stack from sticking together, fan out the paper after you take
off the band.

Introduction
This chapter provides instructions on how to remove the printer to service it outside of the game.
Note: While the printer is hot connectable, it is still a good maintenance procedure to turn
off the power.
Important Information!
Do not remove the ground screw in the rail as it will release the internal nut!
After removing the printer, do not slide the unit on a tabletop or other surface. Doing so will
cause damage to the copper grounding clips on the bottom of the unit.
