What printer driver should I be using? 

There is no driver avaialable. The series 700 printer communicates directly with the host machine. These printers are primarily used in gaming machines.

When I print to my Series 700 printer nothing prints?

Verify the Series 700 printer has power and is connected to the system or game. This printer is a thermal printer that requires thermal tickets. Make sure the tickets are loaded in the proper direction. See diagram below:

 

Ticket Stack Orientation
To ensure the ticket is loaded correctly into the printer, the ticket stack must be properly loaded in the ticket box. The stack must be oriented so that the Black Dot/Top of Form indicator of the first ticket is on the leading edge of the ticket, not near the perforation of the next ticket. If the top ticket on the stack has the back facing upward, the perforation attaching the next ticket will be toward the front of the Ticket Supply Box with the Black Dot/Top of Form indicator in the rear right corner. If the print area is facing upward, the perforation attaching the next ticket will be toward the rear of the Ticket Supply Box. For instructions on inserting the first ticket into the printer, see “Loading Tickets into Feeding Mechanism” below.  
 

 

Figure 27 Ticket Stack Orientation

 

Loading Tickets into Feeding Mechanism
The first ticket of the stack must be inserted into the printer by hand. With the Series
700 Printer Ticket Supply Box, there is a guide to direct the ticket into the printer mechanism. To load the printer, grasp the first ticket, and insert it into the guide until the ticket reaches the printer mechanism. Continue pushing gently until the printer mechanism detects the ticket and the motor pulls it through the printer. The printer will stop feeding automatically. Pressing the Ticket Feed button on the printer controller board will run the motor to present blank tickets or to aid in loading.
 
 
 
Figure 28 Ticket Loading and Ticket Feed Mechanism
 
1.       Insert the first ticket, blank side up, into the ticket feed guides
as shown by the load ticket arrow on the instruction card.
 
2.       The printer will automatically feed the ticket
when the ticket is sensed by the printer.
 
3.       If ticket does not feed automatically, press the Ticket Feed switch.
 
4.       Remove the excess ticket from the front of the printer.
