1.3 Printer installation
The following will guide you through the installation of your J210i/J205 printer.
CAUTION: Limit AC power supplied to the J210i/J205 Printer to 24 VDC. Limit excess current draw to 16 amps or less, using an associated circuit breaker or other such device. Never operate the printer in a location where operator, computer, or printer can get wet. Personal injury could result. The printer must be connected to an earthed electrical power supply and properly protected against electrical surges and grounding faults. The power supply pack can only be replaced by the same product from the manufacturer.
1. Place the printer in a location that allows easy access to all sides. The printer should never be operated while resting on its side or upside down.
2. Place the printer’s power switch in the OFF “O” position.
3. Insert the power supply to the printer power socket
and attach to a grounded electrical socket of the proper voltage and type.
4. Attach interface cable to printer and computer and then secure.
5. Switch power on.
CAUTION: Intermittent or unpredictable operation may
occur from unsecured connectors. If damaged, the power cable must be replaced by an exact equivalent. Use only Parallel Cable under 3 Metres in length. The socket should always be easily accessible to power off the printer.

2.3 Loading ribbons
The J210i/J205 printer requires approved ribbon cartridges (see Appendix B). The resin thermal transfer and dye sublimation ribbons are specifically designed for your J210i/J205 printer. For optimum performance and printer (printhead) life, always use approved ribbons. You can print up to 100 cards in YMCKO with the ribbon cartridge. When ribbon is completely used, change the whole cartridge assembly.
DO NOT TOUCH the printhead or the electronic components on the printhead carriage. Discharges of electrostatic charge from the human body or other surfaces can damage the printhead or other electronic components used in this device.
1. Open printer cover by pressing both cover release buttons on the sides of your printer.
2. Insert vertically the ribbon cartridge into the slots and press gently until you can feel it engage properly.
Please note that the ribbon automatically synchronizes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only TrueColoursTMcolour ribbons can be used in this printer

4.2 Cleaning the printhead
A cleaning using the cleaning system with cards usually suffices. However, a separate printhead cleaning using swabs can remove more stubborn deposits when print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.
1. Switch power Off, then open cover by pressing both cover release buttons and remove the ribbon cartridge.
2. Clean printhead by moving alcohol-moistened swab tip side to side across print head elements. Only use moderate force. Make sure the elements are dry before switching on. (To reorder swabs, see Appendix B).
Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the print head. Permanent damage will result.

PRINTERS
NBS JAVELIN printers (excluding printhead) are warranted against defects in material or workmanship. Proof of purchase or shipment date is required to validate the warranty. The warranty becomes void if the equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, damaged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user.
PRINTHEADS
The original printhead is covered by an unlimited number of passes warranty. The warranty period begins on the purchase date. To qualify for this warranty, the printhead must be returned to NBS or to an authorised dealer. Customers are not required to purchase NBS supplies (media and/or ribbons) for warranty qualification. However, if it is determined that the use of other manufacturers' supplies has caused any defect in the printhead for which a warranty claim is made, the user is responsible for all charges required to repair the defect. The warranty becomes void if the printhead is physically worn or damaged; also if it is determined that failure to follow the preventive maintenance schedule listed in the user's manual has caused defects in the thermal printhead for which a warranty claim is made.
SUPPLIES
These are warranted to be free from defect in material and workmanship provided the user has complied with storage, handling and usage guidelines established for supplies used with NBS Javelin printers.
