Dynacode II IP Introduction Introduction 1.1 General Instructions Basic information and warning references with the corresponding signal words for the danger level are as follows specified in this manual: DANGER identifies an extraordinarily great and immediate danger which could lead to serious injury or even death. WARNING identifies a possible danger would could lead to serious bodily injury or even death if sufficient precautions are not taken.
Introduction Dynacode II IP Intended used includes heeding the operating manual, including the maintenance recommendations/regulations specified by the manufacturer. The direct print module may only be used while in proper working order and for the intended purpose. Users must be safe, aware of potential dangers and must comply with the operating instructions.
Dynacode II IP Introduction NOTICE! With the open printing unit (due to construction) the requirements of EN 62368-1 regarding fire protection casing are not fulfilled. These must be ensured by the installation into the end device. The print unit and parts of it (e.g. motor, printhead) can get hot during printing.
