Title: Bally Alpha Ticket Printer - Validation "standard" not an option - fixed
Post by: teamclark4 on October 16, 2013, 04:27:56 AM
Just passing this along to help anyone who may run across this.. It was a headache figuring it out; hoping it will save someone some aggravation down the line.  :30-

Have a Bally Alpha Cinevision that i cleared and set up the ticket printer (Ithaca 850). I noticed it didn't have under the validation options a "Standard" option.. It was "system" or Bally Extended and another option i don't remember off the top of my head; but not the usual "Standard" option.

So no matter what option i chose for validation it would always go to handpay when i would do cashout. Credit limits weren't the issue.

Took a chance and ordered a new Jurisdiction chip for California Tribal to replace my Arizona Tribal (which works fine with my igames and wms printers  :103-).

I replaced the 8 pin jurisdiction chip and cleared the machine and voila the Validation now has an option of "Standard" for me to choose.

Tickets now print fine.

Just passing along the info; when i ordered that chip i figured it had about a 20-30% chance of actually fixing it; so i was pleasantly surprised that something worked out for a change  :89-

The chip was $15.00 ; and worth it.
