Ticket Taker Operation
When ticket is inserted the ticket taker, the ticket sense opto is interrupted which starts
the ticket taker drive motor. The urethane rollers take the ticket(s) to the transport belts
which carry the ticket(s) to the cutters. There are blue flat springs in the top assembly
that push down on the top assembly keeping the ticket down on the transport belts.
During the ticket travel over the transport belts, the notch opto senses the center notch of
the tickets and the upper and lower side of the ticket is scanned for a barcode. We sense
that the motor is turning with a hall effect sensor which is activated by a magnet located
in the motor pulley passing over the circuit board. If there is no signal pulsing from the
hall effect sensor when the motor is supposed to be running, the power to the motor will
be turned off.
