PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
SHOCK HAZARD (INDUSTRY STANDARD)
SAFETY SUMMARY
This instrument is designed to prevent accidental
shock to the operator when used properly.
However, no engineering design can assure the
safety of an instrument used negligently.
THEREFORE, READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY PRIOR TO OPERATION
OR ADJUSTMENT.
Failure to do so could seriously damage the instrument or injure the operator. Standard safety precautions must be used
during installation and operation.
Do not operate this instrument where flammable
gases or fumes are present. Parts must be
replaced by qualified repair persons.
IMPORTANT MESSAGES
<WARNING> Denotes a hazardous proce-
dure or condition which, if
ignored, could injure or be fatal
to the operator.
<CAUTION> Denotes a hazardous proce-
dure or condition which, if
Ignored, could damage or
destroy the instrument.
<IMPORTANT> Denotes a procedure or condi-
tion which is essential to the
correct operation of the instrument.
<NOTE> Specifies supplementary, and
perhaps essential information
which should be recognized in
relation to a particular procedure or condition.
CMOS CAUTION
This instrument contains CMOS (complementary
metal-oxide-semiconductor) circuitry which is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Turn off or
disconnect all power supplies before you make
y connections, DIP switch selections or signal
an
source applications
.
When solder connections must be made (i.e.
replacing parts or zero-OHM jumpers), make sure
the solder
ing de
Appropriate static ground conditions
vice is properly grounded.
MUST be
observed (i.e. as with conductive sheet stock covers for workbenches, ground wrist-straps, etc.).
“Shock Hazard,” is defined in Underwriters
Laboratories Radio and Television Receiving
Appliances Standards for Safety. 12th ed., 25
June 1969:
“Shock hazard shall be considered to exist at any
part involving a potential of between 42.4 Volts
peak and 40 Kilovolts peak in the following cases:
A. If the current through a load of not less than 500
OHMs exceeds 300 milliamperes after 0.003 second.
B. If the current through a load of not less than 500
OHMs exceeds 5 milliamperes after 0.2 second.
C. If the time required for the current through a
load of not less than 500 OHMs to decrease to 5
milliamperes is between 0.1 and 0.2 second, and
the total quantity of electricity passed through the
load up to that time exceeds 4 millicoulombs.
D. If the time required for the current through a
load of not less than 500 OHMs to decrease to 5
milliamperes is between 0.03 and 0.1 second, and
the total quantity of electricity passed through the
load up to that time exceeds 75T-350T
2
milli-
coulombs (where T is the time in seconds).
E. If the potential is more than 5 Kilovolts peak and
if the total capacitance of the circuit is more than
300 micromicrofarads.
NOTE: Additional factors might apply when potentials more than 40 Kilovolts are present.”

1.2 UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
While unpacking the instrument, carefully compare the packing list from the shipping carton to
the purchase order to account for all Items
ordered.
Examine the shipping carton and its contents for
any damage. If damage is present or suspected,
notify the carrier immediately. Save the shipping
carton and packing material for future storage or
shipping.
1.3 INSTRUMENT I.D.
An instrument's serial number is a valuable reference for your records. The serial number for the
panel mount printer is on a plate located in the
lower left-hand corner of the instrument's rear
panel. Refer to this number when contacting the
factory about the instrument. You may want to
write the serial number here for future reference:
SERIAL NUMBER:
1.4 FACTORY ASSISTANCE
Because of the design complexity and use of
extensive test fixtures, the printer should not be
repaired by anyone but DigiTec service personnel.
If you encounter operating problems, please contact DigiTec for instructions. Our address, telephone number, and telex number are listed on the
title page of this manual. Be prepared to explain
the problem as thoroughly as possible. If the problem is a malfunction, indicate the operating mode
during which the malfunction occurred.
If the factory instructs or authorizes you to return
the instr
its original carton, with sufficient packing material,
to the nearest authorized service center (or as
directed).
IMPORTANT: The warranty of this instrument is
voided if customer modifies the instrument in any
way.

WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing
or adjusting the unit in any way.
2.1 OPEN FRONT PANEL
The printer's front panel must be opened for
access to the internal printer assembly. In order to:
Change Printout Variables (2.2)
Change Interface (2.3)
Turn Battery Backup On or Off (2.4)
Load Paper (2.6)
Change Ribbon (2.7)
HOW TO OPEN THE FRONT PANEL . . .
(refer to Fig. 1)
1. Open the front panel by pushing in the locking
fasteners on either side of the front panel. (Front
panel will flip down after fasteners are pushed in.)
2. Pull front panel away from unit until it stops.
3. At this time, you have access to the internal
printer assembly.
2.2 CHANGE PRINTOUT VARIABLES
The variables that determine printout format (how
data prints out) are factory-set but can be
changed during installation. The factory settings
(default settings) are:
VARIABLE FACTORY SETTING
Font *Normal
Print Direction *Normal (first line down)
Word Wrap ON
Calendar Format Standard (mo/day/yr)
Baud Rate 300
Data Bits 7
Interface Standard (RS-232-C)
Battery Backup ON
*These printout variables can also be changed
using Escape Commands from a remote terminal.
NOTE: However, that variables changed by
Escape Commands are not saved in memory
when the unit is turned off. Only changes made
during installation, while the unit is turned off, are
saved.
HOW TO SELECT PRINTOUT VARIABLES...
Printout variables are selected by adjusting the
positions of the 5 position S1 and S2 DIP switches, which are located on the Main Logic Board
(found by opening the front panel).
NOTE:
1. Before adjusting the DIP switches, TURN OFF
ALL POWER. Switches are checked only on
power up.
2. DIP swithces are very tiny. Use a small, pointed
instrument to adjust swithces. Be careful not to
disturb adjacent settings.

2.2.4 SELECT CALENDAR FORMAT
On many printers, data prints out upside-down
(first-line-down/NORMAL) while this presents no
problem once the printout tape is removed from
the printer, it can be difficult to read if the printout
is of immediate interest. With the 6610 printer you
can select the NORMAL print direction (first-linedown) or an INVERTED print direction (first-lineup).

2.2.3 SELECT WORD WRAP
Word Wrap accommodates long lines of data without hyphenation. When word wrap is selected, the
printer can print the same amount of information
as an 80-column printer, but without special formatting.
When Word Wrap is ON, the printer automatically
executes a CR LF (carriage return, line feed) at
the first space prior to printing the 25th character.
When Word Wrap is OFF, the printer executes a
CR LF as the 25th character after receiving 25
characters without a CR LF.
