2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking
Take the printer out of its shipping box and remove any padding material. It is ad-
visable to keep the shipping box in case the printer needs to be re-shipped for repair,
replacement or placed into storage.
2.2 Procedure for Installation
Mechanical Installation
Paper movement should meet the following requirements:
−Paper should be guided to remain in a right angle position in line with the printer.
The printer does not feature any paper alignment device but only paper advancing/
retracting means. Therefore, any paper that is off-axis, misalignment cannot be cor-
rected by the printer.
−Paper should remain parallel to the printing plane, also past the paper advancing
devices (sprocket tape/friction rollers) and particularly under the print head.
2.3 CAUTION!
• Do not print without inked ribbon or paper, this can lead to rapid print head
needle wear- out.
• When switching the printer on, it is advisable to check that the inked ribbon is
in place. (see
Illustration: Cartridge installation.)
• Avoid putting foreign matters into the printer.
• Avoid moving the print head manually.
• Avoid mechanical shocks to the electronic boards and to the printing mechanism.
• Before starting to print, check that the inked ribbon cartridge is correctly installed,
the paper is loaded in the proper position and printer's upper swivelling part is locked
to the lower one.
• If the printer has worked for some time, avoid touching the print head: it can be
overheated. It is advisable to wait a few minutes before attempting to replace the in-
ked ribbon cartridge.
• Once the printer has been switched off, wait at least 10 seconds before switching it
on again, this enables the internal reset circuitry to work properly.
• Printer noise increases if the sheet is not in tight contact with the printing plane.
• Do not open the printer when it is operating.
• Switch the computer on before the printer and switch the printer off before the com-
puter.
• This avoids dummy data being sent by the computer to the printer during the swit-
ching on/off sequence.
• Cleaning: do not use abrasive cleaners, unplug from mains before cleaning the prin-
ter.
