**errors during dealing are possible, read errors, feed card and gate errors can happen. They depend mainly on the condition of the cards. The acceptable error ratio for cards in good condition is 1 error for 100 dealt boards. These errors are reported and the machine operator can take proper action. Probability of the undetected error which can lead to an incorrectly dealt board is zero.
**regular maintenance of the machine is required. Refer to the
Dealer4 Maintenance Adjusting and Cleaning Manual.
Optical Card Recognition
One of the main features of Dealer4 is the Optical Card Recognition System. Dealer4 does not require bar-coded or any another specially marked cards which can be expensive. Any standard sized cards can be used. The OCRS uses a video camera and a DSP processor to analyze the image of a card, recognize the number and the suit thereby directing it to the necessary gate.
Card Boxes
Dealer 4 is primary designed to be used with a special slide-in plastic Card Box. Using Card Boxes is recommended and is the simplest and fastest way to prepare the many boards required for everyday club activities. If a club has an older type soft wallet or another type of incompatible card box, Dealer 4 is still the answer. Because of the unique design of Dealer 4, a special Acrylic Insert can be used in place of a Card box. The Acrylic Insert is provided with the Dealer 4. Card Boxes are available to purchase separately.
**not using Card Boxes requires cards to be manually removed from the machine and placed into wallets. This increases dealing time and probability of operator mistakes.
