gap to the moveable hopper wall, so the cards can feed freely.\u00a0 Note that this adjustment is REVERSE threaded, so turning the knob Clockwise will increase the clearance.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 Simple cleaning of your Dealer4 is needed to keep it running fast and error-free.\u00a0 If your machine starts dealing more slowly, clean just the orange feed roller and deal times will usually return to normal.\u00a0 See the detailed cleaning instructions on this web site for more thorough cleaning which is needed less often.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 Start dealing with the cards from board #36 and put them into board #1.\u00a0 This automatically rotates the cards and they all wear out evenly rather than the early boards wearing out way before the end boards.<\/p>\n<p>5. \u00a0Leave your Dealer4 machine set up all the time if possible.\u00a0 Repeatedly inserting and removing the USB cable can eventually cause damage to the USB port or cable.<\/p>\n<p>6. \u00a0Do not operate the Dealer4 machine in full sunlight or near a bright outside window.\u00a0 This can cause glare on the camera lens and optical photo sensors and will cause errors which are difficult to diagnose.<\/p>\n<p>7. \u00a0If the Dealer4 machine does not operate, check the power supply transformer &#8220;brick&#8221; to make sure the green LED light is illuminated.\u00a0 \u00a0If not, either the wall power has failed or the transformer has burned out and needs replacement.<\/p>\n<p>8. \u00a0Never leave your Dealer4 machine in a hot car parked in the sun.\u00a0 The rubber rollers cannot withstand the intense heat and could be damaged, requiring replacement.<\/p>\n<p>9. \u00a0If you begin to experience Error messages when using your Dealer4, please observe and document what you experience along with the circumstances during which they occurred.\u00a0 With that information, first check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) tab of this website for advice on possible steps to take to resolve the problem.\u00a0 If you are unable to resolve the problem, feel free to contact your closest Service Center for assistance.<\/p>\n<p>10. \u00a0There are other useful websites with information to help you with the operation, care and maintenance of the PlayBridge Dealer4 or Dealer4+ machine:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dealer4ServiceCenter.com (this website):<\/strong> Provides information about care and maintenance, how and what the customer should clean to keep the machine in good working order, operating tips, answers to frequently asked questions (including troubleshooting advice and error messages), and obtaining recurring or repair service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dealer4.com<\/strong> \u00a0Software updates for download, operating and maintenance manuals, and other information from the PlayBridge Dealer4 design and manufacturing team.<\/p>\n<p><strong> PlayBridgeDealer4.com<\/strong>\u00a0 Videos about getting started, cleaning, and board production, software, operating and maintenance manuals, and information from the PlayBridge Dealer4 sales and marketing team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.\u00a0 Always deal with at least 2 decks of cards in the hopper.\u00a0 The extra weight of the 2nd deck is needed to keep downward pressure on the feed roller so the cards will feed quickly and properly. 2.\u00a0 Generally, <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/operating-tips\/\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-186","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":612,"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186\/revisions\/612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dealer4servicecenter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
