7.1.2 Cut Opto Assembly
The purpose of this device is to sense the black mark located on the rear of the flight strip in order to determine
a cut position.
The cut position may be adjusted via the control panel (see section 6.0).
If you are not able to get the desired cut position, make sure your ticket stock is being loaded correctly into the
printer and BLANK FLIGHTS STRIPS menu setting matches the stock being used.
Once a year the opto eye should be blown off with air. This interval will vary depending upon the
environment and the quality of the ticket stock.
