Instructions addendum:

After a PAX upgrade to 2.3, look at the Current Deck Menu in the User Menu to ensure the most recent deck in use is selected.

There have been a couple sites with the selection revert to the initial deck it was set up with… meaning there was more than one deck in the library.

If the casino has moved to a second brand and/or type of cards, the reversion to the original on the list during the software upgrade will cause the shuffler to not work properly- the machine will be looking for Deck A when Deck B is in use.

This would only arise at casinos which changed their card type after installing PAX.  To be safe, we should have every PAX looked at as it only takes a moment.
