2. PRINTER SETUP
This section outlines the procedures to setup your printer prior to its operation. The section includes
precautions, connecting cables, assembling accessories, and loading media and ribbon.
2.1
Precautions
To insure the best operating environment, and to assure the safety of the operator and the equipment,
please observed the following precautions.
·
Operate the printer on a stable, level, operating surface in a location free from excessive humidity,
high temperature, dust, vibration, direct sunlight, or rapid change of temperature.
·
Keep your work environment static free. Static discharge can cause damage to delicate internal
components.
·
Make sure that the printer is connected to a clean source of AC Power and that no other high
voltage devices that may cause line noise interference are connected to the same mains.
·
Assure that the printer is connected to the AC mains with a three-prong power cable that has the
proper ground (earth) connection.
·
Do not operate the printer with the cover open. Be careful not to allow fingers or articles of clothing
to get caught into any of the moving parts of the printer.
·
Make sure to turn off the printer power and to remove the power cord from the printer whenever
working on the inside of the printer such as changing the ribbon or removing jammed media, or
when cleaning the printer.
·
For best results, and longer printer life, use only Output Solutions recommended media and
ribbons.
·
Store the media and ribbons in accordance with their specifications.
·
This printer mechanism contains high voltage components; therefore you should never remove any
of the covers of the machine as you may receive an electrical shock. Additionally, the printer
contains many delicate components that may be damaged if accessed by unauthorised personnel.
·
Clean the outside of the printer with a clean dry cloth or a clean cloth slightly dampened with a mild
detergent solution.
·
Use caution when cleaning the thermal print head as it may become very hot while printing. Wait
until it has had time to cool before cleaning. Use only the Output Solutions recommended print
head cleaner to clean the print head.
·
Do not turn off the printer power or remove the power plug while the printer is printing or while the
ON LINE LED is blinking.
