4.4.4 Ticket Detect Sensor Cleaning
The Ticket Detect Sensor initiates the auto-loading process by signaling
the presence of ticket stock within the Media Guides. If the sensor
becomes blocked with paper particles, ticket feeding problems can occur.
Clean the sensor as follows:
 Turn ‘Off’ and unplug the printer. (ST Models: Raise the access
cover; see Section 3.2.)
 Slide the printhead latch to the ‘unlocked’ position and raise (or, in
the case of SV Models, lower) the printhead assembly (see Section
4.4.1).
 Remove any ticket stock.
 Lower (or raise) the printhead assembly and slide the printhead latch
into the ‘locked’ position.
 Using compressed air, direct an air stream under the area indicated
by dotted line in the drawing below to clean the sensor.
