If it becomes necessary to disable the GEN5
Printer Unit’s Paper Low Sensor, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. Remove Paper from the Print Head.
2. Put the GEN5 Printer in a "Paper in Chute" con-
dition. Cover the Taken Sensor (Figure 2-11 e)
with your finger or a Ticket. Close the lid.
3. Press and hold the Feed button (Figure 2-4 a) for

Preventive Maintenance
JCM strongly recommends regularly scheduled a
Preventive Maintenance procedures to ensure that
the GEN5 Printer performance meets factory speci-
fications for trouble-free operation.
Loading Tickets
To load tickets into the GEN5 Printer, perform the
following steps:
1. Open the EGM’s Service Door.
2. Pull the Printer forward on its Sliding Base until
it stops.
3. Fan the Ticket stack, then place it in the Ticket
b
Tray so that it lays flat (Figure 2-2 a).
NOTE: A black Paper Index Mark
should be visible along the right edge
of the Ticket stack (Figure 2-2 b). Figure 2-3 Load Ticket Stack into Printer/
LED Status
5. Reinstall the Printer in the EGM by pushing the
Sliding Base into the EGM until it stops.
6. Secure the EGM’s Service Door.
Paper Feed Button
To feed Paper into the GEN5 Printer or to Print a
a Configuration Ticket, proceed as follows:
b
NOTE: Before using the Paper Feed
Button, follow the Loading Tickets
procedure to ensure Tickets are properly
loaded into the GEN5 Printer.
1. Press and hold the Feed Button to feed paper
through the Printer or to advance to the top of the
next Ticket (Figure 2-4 a).
2. Press the Feed Button twice within two (2) sec-
onds to print a Configuration Ticket.
Figure 2-2 Stack Tickets in Ticket Tray

4. Insert a Ticket into the Ticket In Slot (Figure 2-3
a). The Ticket automatically feeds into the Printer
and aligns in the correct position for printing.
NOTE: The Printer’s LED Status
indicator (Figure 2-3 b) changes from
YELLOW (Paper) to GREEN (Ready).
Figure 2-4 Paper Feed Button

Clearing a Ticket Jam

To remove or clear a jammed Ticket from the
GEN5 Printer, proceed as follows:
WARNING: To avoid damaging the
Printer Unit, DO NOT use a screwdriver a
or other probing instrument to try to
clear a Ticket Jam.

7. After removing debris, rotate the Print Head
Release Lever to its Home (latched) position.
8. Once the Ticket Jam has been cleared, close the
Printer Lid. Ensure that it latches.
9. Reload the Tickets into the Printer, then press and
hold the Feed button (Figure 2-4 a) to feed a
ticket through the Printer. Verify that Tickets are
feeding properly.
NOTE: Make sure Tickets are properly
loaded in the Printer before resuming

4. Rotate the Lid up in the direction indicated by the
red arrow (Figure 2-6 a) to access the Printer Cleaning Procedure
interior (Figure 2-6 b).
JCM strongly recommends an annual completion
of the Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance proce-
a dures to ensure that the GEN5 Printer performance
meets factory specifications for trouble-free opera-
tion.
