This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, may cause interference in radio and television reception. It
has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for class B computing devices in accordance with the specification in subpart J of part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partial installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna,
Relocate the peripheral away from the receiver,
Move the peripheral away from the receiver
Plug the peripheral into a different outlet, so that the peripheral and re-
ceiver are on different branch circuits
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the fol-
lowing booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission,
helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”.
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington DC 20402 Stock No. 004.000.00345.4.
WARNING: To comply with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a class B computing device, the printer cable must be shielded. To assure compliance with FCC regulations for a computing device,
use a shielded interface cable with a metal shell connector. The use of
cables not properly shielded may result in violating FCC regulations.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian department of communications.
This unit complies with DOC standard C108.8-M 1983

Installation Quick start guide
➤ Placing your printer Place the printer on a solid, flat, surface, ensuring that the printer is positioned in such a way
that it can not topple, and that there is easy access to the control panel and paper input devices.
Also ensure that there is sufficient space for the printed output.
If you expect that frequent forward and reverse feeds will occur,
you should place the printer as shown in the figure, if possible.
When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional instructions:
STOP
Never place the printer in the vicinity of inflammable gas or explosive substances.
Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the printer near a
window, protect it from the sunlight with a curtain.
When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure not to exceed the maximum cable
length (see User Guide on the Online CD-ROM, Technical Specifications).
Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices/radiators.
Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Protect the
printer from dust.
It is recommended to install the printer in a place which is acoustically isolated from the
workplace because of the noise it may produce.

Quick start guide Installation
➤ Connecting the printer
Make sure that the printer is set to the correct voltage (e.g. 230 V
120V
in Europe, 120 V in the U.S.A.). To do this, check the plate
above the power inlet at the rear of the printer.
If the setting is incorrect, set the coloured switch at the rear of
the printer to the correct position, using a pointed object (e.g.
screwdriver, ball pen or tweezers).
ENGLISH
➤ Switching on the printer
STOP
Make sure that the printer is switched off before
setting the correct voltage; otherwise severe damage may be caused.
Never switch on the printer if the voltage setting is
incorrect, since this may cause severe damage to the
printer.
Make sure that the printer and the computer are switched off,
and connect the printer to the computer with the data cable
(interface cable).
The printer by default is provided with a parallel and
an Ethernet interface. For further information about
the interfaces, refer to the User Guide on the Online
CD-ROM.
Connect the power cable to the power inlet of the printer.
Connect the power cable plug to a mains socket.
The power switch for switching on the printer is located at the
bottom left at the front of the printer when viewed from the
front.

Quick start guide Changing the ribbon cassette
Changing the
ribbon cassette
Before opening the cover, make sure that the printer is switched on so that it can execute
automatic preparations for ribbon changing (widening the print head gap).
During the process of initialization after powering on, the printer checks if a ribbon cassette
is installed. It also checks during the execution of a print job the operativeness of the ribbon
cassette. These functions mandatory require the use of the manufacturers original ribbon cassettes (see section Accessories, page 28). If other ribbon cassettes were used, the message
"Check Ribbon" appears in the display, it is impossible to print.
Move the paper to the park position.
Open the printer top cover.

Paper handling Quick start guide
➤ Loading paper Your printer can process both fanfold paper and single sheets. For information on the supported
paper sizes, please refer to page 27 (Paper specifications).
You should only use those paper types which are approved for this printer. For more information, please refer to the User Guide on the Online CD-ROM.
The printer by default is adjusted in such a way, that it will automatically check the width of
the inserted paper before starting a print job. If the paper couldn’t be detected (for example
because it is positioned too far left), the message "PW sensor defect" appears in the display, it
is impossible to print.
If a printing line overrides the measured paper width, the characters out of range will not be
printed and the message "Paperwidth error" appears in the display. The printer switches to offline
mode. You can restart the printing process by pressing the Online key.
For further information on paper width measurment, please refer to the User Guide on the
Online CD-ROM.
Fanfold paper
Make sure that the printer is set for fanfold paper printing. If
necessary, change the paper type (see page 15, Changing the
paper type).

Open the coloured latch lever of the right-hand tractor and align
it to the paper width.
Insert the fanfold paper into the right-hand tractor.
Make sure that it is inserted by the same length as on the
left-hand tractor in order to avoid any paper jam.
Close the tractor flap and lock the tractor by turning the tractor
lever to the rear.
