Shuttle Insert Offset and Output Setting (Calibration)

Remove right side cover.

Select Shuttle Insert Offset. Press the return key with the current value.

For reference 300 points equals 1 card thickness and 150 points half a card thickness. A higher number will lower the shuttle position.

Adjust until alignment marks on side plate and shuttle line up.

Break Roll Setting

The gap between the two aluminum brake rollers should be approximately 1 ½ card thicknesses. This gap is set at the factory and should not need to be reset during installation.

Warning: Power Down and Unplug the Pax S Shuffler before swapping the Buttons. Failure to do so may result in Damage to the unit, Shock or Electrocution

Remove the Right Side Cover
Remove the Infeed Tray

Use a Hex Driver to loosen the Screws attaching the Top Roller Shaft.

Slide the .015mm Pink Shim (Included) between the two Black Brake Rollers.
Push down firmly (about 5 to 10 pounds of pressure) and evenly on the top roller and tighten the 2 Hex Screws.
Be Sure the Gap is even across both sets of rollers.

Add Deck

It is necessary to add a new deck to the Shuffler in order for the system to properly recognize the specific cards in use.

From the Main Menu, Select the Gear Icon to Enter the User Menu.
In the User Menu Select the Maintenance Button.
Enter the Password and Select the Enter Button.
In the Maintenance Menu Select the Deck Setup Button.
From the Deck Setup Menu Select the Add New Deck button.
Enter a name for the deck and Select Enter.

It is best practice to use the card manufactures description for the deck name. For Example: Bee Jumbo where the manufacturer is Bee, and the deck type is Jumbo.

Note: The deck of cards will be processed through the shuffler in a specific order. Fist in one direction and then rotated 180° processed again.

Start with a deck of cards in order from bottom to top: Ace-King of Spades, Ace-King Diamonds, King-Ace of Clubs, King-Ace of Hearts, and finally the two jokers on the top.

I can confirm your deck is sorted in the correct deck add order.

in general, the advice is to try deck add as many as half a dozen times in a row until it succeeds.

When Prompted to Add New Deck, Place the Deck in the Infeed Tray.

The Shuffler will input the Deck.

Select Accept to accept the shuffle.

Remove the Deck from the Outfeed Tray, Rotate the Deck and Place the Deck back in the Infeed Tray.

Select Accept to accept the 2^nd shuffle

Once the Deck Operation Successful message appears, Navigate Back to the User Menu.

Select the Current Deck button.

Find the New Deck in the list, Select it and Select Done.

Navigate back to the Deck Setup menu.

Select Maintenance > Maintenance Password > Deck Setup > Delete Deck

Select the Deck to be Deleted and Select the Delete Selection(s) button.

Select the Return button and repeat if necessary.

Delete all decks not used at the location.

Note: The active deck will not show on the list of decks to delete.

Game Setup

DO NOT skip reading this note: You must have one game selected before exiting the menu. If you do not have a game selected and you exit, it will brick the SSD on the motherboard. Do not ask how we figured this out….

Most Stud poker games played in a casino are listed in the Games Selection menu. The user menu can be configured to show only the games at the casino where Pax is installed. A check box next to each game in the game selection menu will show if the game is to appear in the user menu.

Select Gear Icon > Maintenance > Maintenance Password > Game Setup > Edit Game

Select the Game to be Configured.
1. To configure select Game Setup in the Maintenance Menu and edit each game. Select yes or no to display the game in the user menu.
Enable (default) or Disable the Dealer Cover Card / Green Button Press Options.

Note: Pax can be configured to hold the first packet of cards or automatically eject the first packet into the outfeed tray. Select enable Dealer Cover Card/Green Button Press to require a green button is press or a cut card placed on the outfeed tray to eject the first packet of cards. Select disable Dealer Cover Card/Green Button Press to automatically eject the first packet of cards after the cards have been shuffled.
