Compuprint Products Information
Thanks for choosing the Compuprint SP40 printer.
Your printer is a reliable working equipment that will be very useful in your daily job.
Our printers have been designed to be compact and respectful of the work environment. They offer
a wide range of features and multiple functions that confirm the high technological level reached
by the SFERAL WWT printers with Compuprint brand.
To maintain these printing performances unchanged in the long run, SFERAL WWT has
developed specific Compuprint branded consumables for each printer type (for example: ribbon
cartridges for dot matrix printers, toner and OPC cartridges for laser printers, bubble ink jet
cartridges for inkjet printers) that assure an excellent operation with high printing quality level
reliability.
Sferal WWT recommends to use only its original Compuprint branded consumables with original
packaging (identified by its holographic label). In this way, a proper use of the printer at quality
level stated in the product characteristics can be assured. All typical usage problems related to not
certified consumables may be avoided, such as an overall quality print level degradation and,
often, the reduction of the product life due to the fact that the proper working conditions for the
print heads, OPC cartridge and other printer parts are not assured.
Moreover, Sferal WWT does not only certify its consumables in terms of working conditions but
also carefully controls their compliance with the international standard rules concerning:
• no cancerous materials;
• no flammability of the plastic materials;
• other standards
Sferal WWT advises the customers not to use products for which the compliance to this safety
rules are not warranted. Finally seek your dealer or contact a Sferal WWT office and be sure that
are provided you the original Compuprint branded consumables.

PPrriinntteerr PPrreesseennttaattiioonn
This dot-matrix printer is a multi-purpose printer for front office applications. Its compact
structure is designed for integration in an ergonomic environment. The printer provides a high
level of reliability, form-handling accuracy and data integrity. Its main features are:
• Printing on a wide range of paper media: different types of cut sheets, multi-parts and
passbooks.
• High print pressure for multi-parts documents
• High print quality supplied by a 24 wire print head
• High reliability paper handling
The straight paper path allows the printing on particular documents such as envelopes,
multipart forms and passbooks.
• Automatic paper thickness adjustment
The print head detects the paper thickness for correct printing on any type of document. This
printer can print also on documents with a variable thickness, such as passbooks.
• Easy paper handling
The operator places the paper on the front table and the printer loads it without any other
user intervention. The paper ejection towards the front or the rear of the printer allows an
easy access to the printed document.
• Automatic document alignment feature
The printer checks automatically the alignment of the top margin of the document and adjusts
it, if necessary. The printout is therefore performed correctly independently from the paper
loading position.

When the Printer Setup Forms have been filled in, insert them back into the printer, when the
printer is in Setup Mode.
The printer is able to recognize the Setup Forms by means of the markers on these pages. The
printer reads the values marked for the various parameters and configures the printer
accordingly.
The settings are confirmed by a # symbol printed on the left of the corresponding marker.
The following page shows the printer setup flow-chart.
For further details concerning the parameters that can be set in the Configuration Setup,

The straight paper path of this printer is designed for trouble-free handling of a great variety of
documents.
PPaappeerr JJaamm
In case a paper jam condition occurs, proceed as follows:
1. Open the printer cover.
2. Open the print-head assembly pushing the green levers towards the rear of the printer. The
print-head assembly moves up.
43
3. Remove the jammed paper, pulling it
towards the front of the printer.
4. In case it is not possible to remove the
jammed paper because you cannot reach it
with your hand or it is embedded so that
you cannot move it, rotate the cog-wheel
beside the paper path lever to free the
paper.
44
5. Push down on the green label “PUSH TO
CLOSE” present in the print head assembly
until it clicks into place.
If you do not close the print-head assembly correctly, the printer does not print and you may
damage the printer cover.
6. Close the printer cover.

Fading print The ribbon is not fed
The ribbon is used up or torn Change the ribbon cartridge.
The printer does not
print
The ribbon cartridge is not an
original Compuprint cartridge.
Check that the ribbon is correctly inserted (see
Installing the Ribbon Cartridge”.
“
Turn the ribbon tension knob to verify, that the
ribbon is not blocked.
If the problem is not solved, change the ribbon
cartridge.
The printer checks the inserted cartridge, to
avoid damaging the print head assembly due to
incorrect ribbon feeding.
Insert an original Compuprint ribbon cartridge.

The documents must all guarantee the following characteristics:
• Use paper matching the indicated characteristics.
• They must have well defined top and left edges, with a square angle tolerance of 0.1° on all
edges.
• The paper must not have holes, perforations, folds or tears anywhere within the print area of
the document.
• The radius on a corner of the form must be within 9.5 mm from the left or right edge.
• The form to be printed must not contain foreign material.
• Form opacity must be at least 75%. Forms with a lower opacity may cause feed errors.
• Never print on documents with metallic or hard plastic fasteners or staples, they may damage
the printer. Use only sewn passbooks.
• To get the maximum print contrast you should print on white or light colored paper. You may
overstrike to improve the low contrasting paper.
• It is preferable to use single and multiple documents with the fibre running in the insertion
direction of the printing unit.
Recycled paper is permitted on principle.
•
•
It is preferable to print on multiple forms with a narrow glue strip or top-gluing. The gluing
must not cause waving in the set of forms.
