Safety Regulaons

The printers PP 407 (High Speed Fanfold Printer) and the

PP 408 (High Speed Fanfold Printer with Cuer) fulls the safety regulaons according to EN 60950-

1, UL 60950-1 and CAN/CSA 22.2/No. 60950-1 for Informaon Technology Equipment.

The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The indicated voltage of the

printer needs to agree with the local voltage.

The power plug must be easily accessible at any me so that it can be disconnected immediately in

case of danger or for maintenance purposes.. Comme le câble de secteur sert de diposif d‘arrêt-

urgence, sa connexion à l‘imprimante doit être tout le temps accessible.

Before installing the printer, check the surrounding condions in which the printer will be placed

(see next page, Operang Environment and chapter 2).

During a thunderstorm you should never aempt to connect or disconnect any data transfer cables.

The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel. Repairs and

maintenance beyond the descripons of chapter 7 Maintenance may only be aempted by

authorized personnel as well. Repairs deine inappropriately may cause damage and severe danger

for the user.

There are warning symbols to draw the user‘s aenon to possible injuries:

This symbol is visible when the top cover has been opened. It indicates that the print

head is extremely hot aer leing periods of prinng.

Electromagnec Compability

We cerfy that the equipment at issue,

• Printer PP 407 (High Speed Fanfold Printer) and

• Printer PP 408 (High Speed Fanfold Printer with Cuer)

corresponds to the law regulaons ruling electromagnec compability of

appliances (2004/108/EC)

and, therefore, fulls the requirements for conformity marking with the CE-sign.

To assure the compliance with the liming values in according to the test

standards for interference

(EN 55022, class B) and noise immunity (EN 55024), shielded interface cables must be used.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protecon

against harmful interference in a residenal installaon. This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instrucon

manual, may cause interference to radio communicaons.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a parcular installaon. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recepon, it can be determined by

turning the equipment o and on. The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by eine

or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separaon between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit dierent from the circuit to

which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Shielded interface cables should be used with this unit to ensure compliance with Class B limits.

Changes and modicaons not explicitly allowed by the equipment‘s manufacturer could void the

user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

Changes et modicaons pas expressément approuvés par le producteur peuvent dévaluer

l‘autorité d‘opérer l‘équipement.

Operang Environment

Avoid installing the printer where it is exposed to moisture or heat (eg. direct sun light).

• Temperature: + 10°C to + 35°C (+50°F to +95°F)

• Humidity: 20% to 80%

Slots and openings in the printer‘s housing are provided for venlaon. Always ensure that these

openings are not obstructed.

Also ensure that the cables at the rear of the printer do not interfere with the output paper path.

About this Manual

This manual is covering the two printers

• High Speed Fanfold Printer

• High Speed Fanfold Printer with Cuer

The operaon and funconality are nearly the same. In most illustraons, the High Speed Fanfold Printer

with Cuer is used. In case there are dierences in the handling you will nd the note:

• High Speed Fanfold Printer

or

• High Speed Fanfold Printer with Cuer

The Interface (Personality Module (PM)) is an integral part of the printer, and the type of PM used,

determines the funconality of the printer especially regarding the user and system interface.

The manual is divided into the following chapters:

2.6 Installaon of the interface (PM)

The printer funcons only in combinaon with an installed interface module, called a Personality

Module (PM). The illustraon below shows the standard PM with a serial, parallel, and USB interface.

Note: To avoid damage due to electrostac discharge, do not touch the pins or compeinents of the

PM. ) Never aempt to install or remove a PM while the printer is switched ON.

The Printer must be powered o! Remove the PM (1) from its packing material. Insert the Personality

Module (1) with the compeinent side upwards unl the connector fully engages. Hand ghten the

two lock screws (2)..

2.7 Power supply and power on printer

Mains Voltage

In general, the main‘s voltage selecon is determined at factory sites.Make sure that the specied

voltage on the label (1) corresponds to your main‘s voltage:

The 230 V seng applies to the range of 180 to 264 V alternang current.

Note: Since an incorrect voltage selecon can seriously damage the printer, please pay special

aenon to the following.

Connect the printer to the mains using the power cord (2). First connect the cable to the power cord

socket and then to the mains. Fasten the Power cord depending upon posion of the mains, into

the clip (3) or (4).

Note: As the power cord serves as a safety cut o, its connecon to the printer must be accessible

any me.

carriage movement and the interface will be performed.

At rst the yellow LED on the Operator Panel is lighng up and the display shows TEST.....0.1

shows TEST....FW..0101234 (version of the rmware).

If the message INSTALL RIBBON is shown, the ribbon must be inserted as described on the

following pages or conrmed if already inserted.

2.8 Installing ribbon cassee

Hinweis: It is recommended to use only original ribbon puts out by our company. Using other

ribbons will void your warranty.

Cauon: Never manually move the print head fully to the right-hand stop (you could change

the way of the paper output).

1. Switch the printer ON at the power switch; Power LED is lit and waits for the message READY

1 ELQ or INSTALL RIBBON.

2. If the printer is busy (message BUSY 1 ELQ) press .

3. Put the ribbon cassee out of the box

4. Remove any excess slack by turning the green knob (1) on the ribbon cassee clockwise.

Move the ribbon feed guide (2) to the posion indicated on the plasc housing of the cassee.

5. Li the top cover (3) to gain access to the ribbon cassee mounngs. The print head will

move to the correct posion, aligned with the cut out in the paper guide plate to facilitate the

installaon of the ribbon cassee.

6. Feed the ribbon cassee down into the printer with the ribbon facing down.

7. Then place the upper assembly pins (9) of the cassee on both sides of the upper part of the

green ribbon holder. In this posion, the ribbon guide (10) contacts the green plasc clip (10)

ribbon under the print head unl the lower retaining pins click (click!).

Note: At each end of the ribbon cassee there are two pins (9) and (10) which keep

the cassee in posion when mounted. When installed correctly the ribbon

cassee is

not parallel to the printer‘s housing (12).

1. Move the print head (4) back and forth to sele the ribbon in the correct posion.

2. If necessary remove excess ribbon slack by turning the green knob (6) clockwise.

3. Close the top cover (3) and press .
