(EN 61010-1) Safety instructions In order to preclude any danger to the operator, the following instructions should be followed: In case any damage or malfunction is detected, take the unit out of operation without delay. Before disassembling the unit, disconnect all inputs / outputs and the supply voltage. When mounting the unit and the connections, make sure all live components are protected from being touched directly.

Transmission is serial by means of an RS 232 (V24) or TTY (20 mA current loop) interface. A 16 kByte data buffer allows rapid transmission. To format the text, IPP 144-40 GS supports the most important control characters of the siemens desktop printer PT88, e.g. bold, expanded.
The printout is invented and right justified, which gives the correct order after the paper has been torn off. The IPP 144-40 GS starts the printing immediately after reception of <CR>. The control characters <CR>, <LF> and <FF> are print triggering characters.
Locking the Menu / Select If the jumper B is connected, the „MENU / SELECT“ key is locked; menu parameters can neither be printed or modified. In order to print or modify parameters: remove jumper B ! The key S102 resets the printer to the standby mode. The RESET -key menu parameters will not to be changed.

Replacing the paper Roll Proceed as descibed below: 1. For devices with a.c. powersupply be very careul. Warning: Dangerous voltage is accessible if replacing the paper roll after opening of the front panel ! 2. Push the snap lock to the right hand side and open the front panel.
Possible errors If there is no printout or if the printout is incorrect, verify the following: - Has the paper run out? The end of paper is indicated by the „Alarm“ LED. - Did you insert the paper properly? - Do the baud rate, parity and word length of both units correspond? - Is the data cable disconnected? Does the pin assignment correspond to the description? - Is the setting „RS232/TTY“...

The paper re-roll device is a DIN-specifiction panel mounting unit. It is supplied with power and controlled via the connector cable which comes with the unit. An LED indicates ready status. Depending on the distance between the two units at least the last 9 lines printed remain visible. The paper re-roll device is inserted into the panel cut-out from the front and is clamped against the rear side of the switchborad using the lateral mounting bolts.The switchboard thickness must not exceed 12mm.
