Safety instructions (EN 61010-1) 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.
