Operator`s manual

9.1.1 Cut or Tear Opto

There is one optical sensor (opto) mounted on an adjustable aluminum bracket. The opto controls

the cut or tear position. Removal or adjustment of the opto should be done without removing the

bracket from the paper guide. The opto position is factory set and adjustment should not be

necessary.

Note: Before making any opto adjustments make sure your ticket stock was manufactured to proper

ticket specifications.

To adjust the cut or tear position, physically adjust the opto mounting bracket forward or backwards to

achieve the desired cut or tear location. On a Lemur with auto cut the cut position should be a 1/16”-

1/8” away from the ticket perforation. On a Lemur without auto cut the ticket perforation should line

up with the edge of the cabinet or top plate.

Cut or tear position may also be adjusted via the control panel (if applicable) by changing the

INC/DEC CUT1/2 settings. (See

Appendix A)

If you are not able to get the desired cut position, make sure your ticket stock was manufactured to

proper specifications.

Once a year the optos eyes should be blown off with air. This interval will vary depending upon the

environment and the quality of the ticket stock.
