Page 4: Electromagnetic Compatibility
We certify that the equipment at issue, • Printer PP 407 (High Speed Fanfold Printer) and • Printer PP 408 (High Speed Fanfold Printer with Cutter) corresponds to the law regulations ruling electromagnetic compatibility of appliances (2004/108/EC) and, therefore, fulfils the requirements for conformity marking with the CE-sign.
Page 5: Operating Environment
Operating Environment Avoid installing the printer where it is exposed to moisture or heat (eg. direct sun light). • Temperature: + 10°C to + 35°C (+50°F to +95°F) • Humidity: 20% to 80% Slots and openings in the printer‘s housing are provided for ventilation. Always ensure that these openings are not obstructed.
Page 6 1. Preface About this Manual This manual is covering the two printers • High Speed Fanfold Printer • High Speed Fanfold Printer with Cutter The operation and functionality are nearly the same. In most illustrations, the High Speed Fanfold Printer with Cutter is used.
Page 7 Appendix Interface Description This chapter gives hints about possibilities to connect the printer to the various computer systems and explains particularities depending on the version of the operating system. Additionally, cable connection is illustrated Print examples of the standard fonts Character Set Tables All printer supported character sets are listed in this chapter D / E Control Codes...

Page 16 2.6 Installation of the interface (PM) The printer functions only in combination with an installed interface module, called a Personality Module (PM). The illustration below shows the standard PM with a serial, parallel, and USB interface. Note: To avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge, do not touch the pins or compeinents of the PM.
Page 17 2.7 Power supply and power on printer Mains Voltage In general, the main‘s voltage selection is determined at factory sites.Make sure that the specified voltage on the label (1) corresponds to your main‘s voltage: The 230 V setting applies to the range of 180 to 264 V alternating current. Note: Since an incorrect voltage selection can seriously damage the printer, please pay special attention to the following.
Page 18: Power On/Off
Power ON/OFF The power ON/OFF switch (1) turns the printer‘s power supply ON or OFF. After switched ON the printer an internal self-test which checks the electronics, the print head carriage movement and the interface will be performed. At first the yellow LED on the Operator Panel is lighting up and the display shows TEST..0.1 (bootstrap).
Page 19: Installing Ribbon Cassette
2.8 Installing ribbon cassette Hinweis It is recommended to use only original ribbon puts out by our company. Using other ribbons will void your warranty. Caution: Never manually move the print head fully to the right-hand stop (you could change the way of the paper output).
Page 20 8. Then move the cassette towards you until it clicks into place on both sides. Now swivel the ribbon under the print head until the lower retaining pins click (click!) . Note: At each end of the ribbon cassette there are two pins (9) and (10) which keep the cassette in position when mounted.
Page 21 2.9 Replacing the Ribbon Cassette Caution: The print head may be very hot immediately after printing! 1. Close the top cover and power on the Printer. After the display shows READY 1 ELQ, open the top cover. The print head (4) will move to the correct position, aligned with the cut-out in the paper guide plate (5) to facilitate the installation of the ribbon cassette.
Page 22: Insert Paper
2.10 Insert paper The printer has two tractor cassettes (1) for fanfold paper. They are named TRACTOR LOWER and TRACTOR UPPER. The standard setting of the paper source is the TRACTOR LOWER cassette. Ensure that the printer is placed in the depression on the top of the stand (option). If the printer is used without a stand, align the printer with the front edge of the table.
Page 23 or both printers: Insert the paper as shown in the illustration; the top edge of the paper must be equal with the top of the tractors or maximum up to two transport holes above the tractors. The left perforation should be aligned with the centre mark (1) on the plastic plate (6). Paper without vertical perforation should be aligned in such a way that the left holes are positieined to the left of the centre mark (1) on the plastic plate (6).
Page 24 Attention: Only move on tractor base (2) not on flaps (4) iehen (danger of breakage) The paper should be inserted taut, but not overstretched and the transport pins Note: must be in the middle of the transport holes! Chapter 2-16...

2.13 Test-Printout There are three test prints in the printer. PRINT TEST 1 Shows a pattern of all printable characters. Use this to check if the printer operates correctly. PRINT TEST 12 Sroduces a standard letter (ECMA-132) which can be used for measuring the printer‘s throughput. PRINT TEST 3 Lists all available fonts, contains the page count to identify the actual number of printed pages, and gives information on technical releases which are intended for service purposes.

A1.2 Serial Interface with RS-232C Transmission Protocols: • DTR - Ready/Busy (only RS-232C) • XON/XOFF • XON/XOFF + DTR (only RS-232C) Transmission Protocols and Connection Diagrams DTR - Ready/Busy (Supported RS-232C Protocols) - Full Duplex Local Connection This protocol uses the following signal lines: Protective Ground (PG) Transmit Data (TXD) Receive Data (RXD)
Page 101 Additional Information After Power-ON DTR is activated and the printer is ready to receive data. DTR is deactivated when the interface buffer has only space left for 256 more characters. Fürther incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer is full. All data sent in addition will get lost. DTR is activated again if there is a free interface buffer space of 512 characters.
Page 102 Additional Information After Power-ON DTR and RTS are activated and the printer is ready to receive data. XOFF is sent, when the interface buffer has only space left for 256 more characters. XOFF is sent again, at a level of 128 characters buffer space. Fürther incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer is full.
