Instruction manual

Base unit wiring & Operation :
The base unit is very straight forward. The wall transformer goes into the power jack.
Connect the proper length Cat5 cable to the network connector, this goes from the base
unit to the first game in the system. Printer A is where the primary printer is attached,
and Printer B is where the backup printer goes if you are using the system in
“SEQUENTIAL” mode. Printer B is also the port that is used to program the custom
settings.
Base unit operation is also very simple, but there are a few things to keep in mind. All
settings that are location specific are set inside the base unit. Such as the location header,
the date/time, how many units are in the system, and other voucher settings that are
consistent through out the location. Most settings are done through the three banks of
DIP switches that are inside the unit. Refer to the DIP switch chart while reading the
following settings.
