Title: Candle light keeps blinking
Post by: MOONMAN on July 02, 2012, 12:00:32 AM
Just bought a GameKing 6.2 

After connecting the candle light it just keeps on blinking all the time.

Any ideas how to stop it from blinking? :103-

Thanks!

Take out the light bulb.  It's likely looking for the back end casino network, which it isn't connected to.

Put more paper in the printer.

I think what KNAGL said is correct.  I looked around after posting this and found an earlier thread talking about this.  I think I'll just let it blink and disconnect it if I get tired of it blinking unless someone has a better solution.  There is paper in the printer and when I turn the key I get the attached message.

Thanks everyone for responding. :3-

I think you need to "disable" the drop box.  try looking at options 3.1.2.3

I'm not sure what you mean by "disabling the drop box"  and not sure how to look at options 3.1.2.3 - too "techie" for me - sorry.

I think when you set up your printer u might have chosen the wrong validation.  I always use the standard printer validation.  Try clearing the machine and setting it up again.

That error/issue happens on some of the GameKing games as it is looking for a connection to the validation system. I just let it blink... seems like a casino that way with lights flashing! :97-

If you disable the printer that light stops flashing, and whatever you do, DO NOT accidentally set it to anything other than standard validation, or you will regret it!!! :25- :30- :8- :37- :58- :60- :279- Trust me! Some people just remove the candle bulb as has been suggested as well.

Moonman, I am at the NLG Command Center this week, but I did see your PM. PM your number, and maybe I can call from the road on the way back home.

in your version of software it should have an option called candle setup(some versions do not have this option at all ) which will have the option for the candle to stop after 30 seconds  OR the candle should stop after you play the first game if the door has been opened recently    hope that helps

I do not have such an option with mine.  I learned the hard way the other day (ended up doing a total clear) that it appears I have to live with the blinking candle light if I want the printer/ticket function to work.  You have to turn on "standard validation" with this to get the ticket redemption to work.  By turning on the validation, the machine looks for a host/server to validate with.  Of course, there is none to validate with.  Thus, the light blinks continuously.  I either let it blink or disconnect it.

Anyway, that's what I've found.  If anyone else has another answer please advise.

Otherwise, I guess I'm done with this.

Thanks!
