got some bally 6000 with the 850 printers in them .changed the mains to 2003
and set up the printer, game plays fine till you hit the cash out gives printer error 3.6.
paper comes part way out and has a couple of lines of small type of code, any idea on what im doing wrong????
thanks dave

I don't think the 2003 mains support the ithica 850, just the Future Logic.  They are pretty cheap though.

Thanks,
Wayne
