the optical sensor openings in the Ticket Channel. The sensor tape produces a flat, uniform Ticket
Channel surface that prevents the build up of paper dust around the sensors. This substantially
increases the time interval between required cleanings.
To clean the SST Transport, complete the following steps. This should be done every 6 months or
as needed.
1. Use compressed air to clean the following:
❑
Rollers
❑
Source LEDs (located on the lower half of the SST Transport).
❑
Ticket Channel (if you unit does not have a strip on the lower ticket channel)
❑
Photo Transistors (located on the top half of the SST Transport unit).
2. Make sure that the power is disconnected. This is important to do before completing the
next step.
3. Using a clean soft cloth or cotton swab and denatured alcohol do the following:
❑
Clean the Magnetic Head by wiping gently on it.
Warning! Do not push down on the Magnetic Head or it may stick.
❑
Wipe the bottom edge of the Print Head to remove any ink or dust that may have
accumulated in the SST Transport. (Version 12 or older only.)
Warning! Do not use dry contact cleaner or petroleum based lubrication to clean or lubri-
cate the SST Transport. This will damage the rubber.
❑
Clean the print head by soaking a ticket with denatured alcohol and manually
cranking it through the Transport. When it reaches the print head lightly press the
HP-1 or HP-4 print head down while moving the ticket back and forth.
❑
Clean all the ticket rollers. Figure 4.4 illustrates the rollers on the bottom half of
the SST/HP-4 Transport. Figure 4.5 illustrates the rollers on the bottom half of the
SST/HP-4 Transport. Additionally, the top half of the SST Transport has rollers
that correspond with rollers 3, 4, 5 and the Magnetic Head. To clean roller 2, do
the following:
—
Place a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol on roller 1.
—
Turn the brass gear drive. Roller 1 will rub against roller 2 and clean it.
—
Turn the brass gear drive until the cloth is clean.
Warning! Do not push down on rear roller too hard, as this may deform the spring.
