Title: Random flashing top candle
Post by: Yoeddy1 on March 20, 2011, 04:17:32 PM
Any ideas on this one?  Top candle will start flashing for no rhyme or reason.  No errors are displayed on the VFD and the game plays fine.  Could this be paper low warning in the printer?  When is the paper low triggered?  Battery going south?  Sorry...don't have my manuals in front of me.  Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

It could be low paper.
My experience has been the printer says it empty when it prints and feeds out the last ticket.

make sure that under section 3.1.2 Candles that the part that says Drop Door Candle which is actually 3.1.2.3 in the menu is Disabled. If the door drop candle is enabled it will give you a random light flash I have found from experience.

Looks like it's a "Paper Low" notification.  Interesting little nugget of data for what it's worth...

"Paper Low" message shows up only when door is open (you guys probably already knew that one though)
Last night I noticed my printer "Green Arrow" LED was flashing...still printed a ticket.
Today my printer "Green Arrow" LED was on solid like normal, but the top light on the candle was flashing....still printed a ticket.
Currently, the printer "Green Arrow" LED is on solid as normal, and the top light on the candle is off....still printed a ticket.

Weirdness, or normal behavior from what you guys have seen in your experience?
