Hello guys...I had a question about my tito. I've installed a bettor tito into my s2000....but my bv doesn't always read the vocher ticket..sometimes I have to try the same ticket about 5 or 6 times.....one thing I did notice is the barcode on my ticket is not perfectly straight up and down...is this normal...or is there something I can do to correct this? I've cleaned the printer head out....no change...whats crazy is I went to go and put a 97 dollar ticket into my bv and it ended up giving my over 50,000 bucks. I don't know how that happened...I've just placed a order for the wba calibration paper...so I am hoping that helps with less rejects....but I'd like to know if the barcode thing is a common thing or if something is wrong with my tito.

Thanks.

The barcode not being straight is an issue with the printer itself

The reason you got $50,000 when you inserted the ticket is because the barcode is misread by the bill validator
next ticket print look at the number under the bar code it will match the dollar amount other than the leading 01.

Well, I decided to take the printer all apart and clean everything and make sure all the connectors where nice and tight.. it was dusty......put it all back together and still is cocked about half of in inch from the bottom of the barcode...I also bought a bv calibration paper...The bv will still validate my tickets normally...it was just that one time where it gave me the 50k......I've noticed it still takes 2 or 3 inserts of the ticket of curtain to be takin...oh well....hey foster....should I stick with the 850...or is there a better printer I should look for?

Thanks!
