2 Installation
2.1 Placing the printer
Place the printer on a solid, flat, stable surface such that the printer sits firmly and cannot
move. Select an environment with sufficient ventilation, easy access to the control panel and
paper input areas as well as the printed output.
When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional requirements:
1) Never place the printer near to any flammable gas or explosive substances.
2) 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.
3) When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure the maximum
recommended cable length is not exceeded.
4) Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating
devices/radiators.
5) Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations.
Above all, avoid dusty environments.
2.2 Connecting the printer
This printer is configured with a Parallel, USB and Ethernet interface as standard. An optional
Serial interface can be installed additionally.

3 Installing the paper
The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. The printer is able to print up
to 5 copies (original plus 5).
To ensure the print quality and protect the print head, set a proper print gap by the
gap lever (see 3.1) for the form thickness and do not load folded, damaged,
wrinkled, or curled paper.
3.1 Adjusting the print gap for various form thicknesses
The print gap lever is on the left side of the printer inside the top cover.
Take care to adjust the print gap lever to a suitable position whenever you change the number
of copies being printed. Using the wrong print gap may cause print head damage or paper
jams.
The recommended gap lever position for different form thickness is:
Paper type Lever position
1-part 1
Original + 1 copy 2
Original + 2 copies 3
Original + 3 copies 4
Original + 4 copies 5
Original + 5 copies 6
The position “Ribbon” only is suitable for loading the ribbon. When the lever is set higher than
appropriate it will result in poor print. The ribbon and head life will be shortened.
