Essential Information
Before you use the Casinomate, a few essential concepts and comments. It is strongly
recommended that if you read nothing else, you at least read this page.
Introduction
The Casinomate allows a user to check and modify the coin settings in QL. It will also allow
diagnostic tests to be done.
It is provided in a sturdy case to protect against everyday knocks and bumps.

QL needs to be connected to a 12Vdc power source via its parallel port to work with the Casinomate.
Casinomate Power.
The Casinomate is powered by an internal, rechargeable battery. It also has an input for an external
9Vdc power source.
Initial Setup.
When you first use your Casinomate, set up the operating modes using the DIAGNOSTICS;
CASINOMATE menu.
Menus and Navigation.
The menu structure of the Casinomate is self explanatory and designed to prompt the user for
the next entry. Take time to read each screen.
A flashing field indicates that the Casinomate is requesting data input. Key in the data and press
Enter.
For multiple field entry screens, pressing ENTER will skip to the next field without changing the
existing value.
Navigating the menus is accomplished by pressing the appropriate number key for the option
listed or pressing ESC to return to the previous menu. Pressing ESC multiple times will step back
through the menu tree and eventually return you to the main menu.
The keypad responds best to slow deliberate presses on the individual keys. Listen for the
confirmation beep
Where there are arrows at the bottom of the screen, use the scroll (arrow) buttons to access
additional options and information.
Coins and Tokens.
Throughout this manual, the term coin is used to cover both coins and tokens.
