Printer Installation

The following instructions are for the addition of an internal 
printer or replacement of an existing printer in a T5 Series 
Fuel Management System.

Note:  The thermal printer requires controller module 

rmware rev 1.5 or higher. Refer to page 7 
Updating Console Firmware.

Included with Printer:

•   Plastic Bezel

•   Thermal Printer on PCB (Printed Circuit Board)

•   Hardware includes:

•  (2) stand-offs

•  Mounting screws 
(Quantity, size and  
use shown in chart)

Note:  Use only the  

provided hardware  
to mount the printer.

Installation Procedure

Warning

1.  Open the Tank Gauge front door.

2.  Remove the front door’s inside cover plate by 
unscrewing the screws located on the plate. 
(Number of screws vary by model).

Disconnect power before opening the
console cover.

3.  Disconnect the cable that connects the impact 
printer to the interface board in the front door.

Cable

Remove 
Screws

4.  Remove the roll of paper from the printer.

5.  Remove the 4 screws that hold the impact printer 
to the front door.

Note: Be careful not to damage the ribbon cable.

6.  Pull the printer gently and slowly a couple of 
inches away from the door. Completely remove the 
impact printer board.

7.  Remove the 4 screws that hold the printer’s plastic 
cover printer to the front door.

a.  Remove the 4 nuts that secure the blank-off 

plate.

b.  Remove the plate (blank-off plate may stick to 

the overlay).

c.  Carefully cut out the part of the overlay that 

covers the printer opening using a sharp knife.

Go to step 9.

8.  Remove the plastic cover.

9.  Place the new plastic bezel over the cutout in the 
front door. Fasten the bezel to the enclosure using 
the two #10 self-tapping screws supplied Start the 
screws in the lower two mounting holes. Do not 
tighten screws all the way at this time. These screws 
will be tightened after installing the printer assembly.

10.  Install the 2 stand-offs on the studs located next to 
the printer opening (Figure 4).

Figure 4: Install Stand-offs

11.  Mount the printer so that the clear printer cover 
faces outward of the front door.

16.  Replace the metal inside cover plate on the front 
door and fasten the screws. Make sure to reattach 
the ground connector to the plate.

17.  Lift up on the green panel to open the printer and 
load paper (Figures 7-9). Make sure the roll is 
oriented as shown.

12.  Attach the 6 screws for the thermal printer board to 
the front door (Figure 6). Refer to the screw chart 
on the previous page.

13.  Connect the cable from the thermal printer board 
to the interface board of the front door (Figure 6).

14.  Tighten the two screws that hold the plastic bezel 
by inserting a screwdriver through the access 
holes in the circuit board.

15.  Check to make sure the foam pad covers the corner 
of the circuit board where the power cables connect.
