STANDARD COUNTING SCALE

PREPARING THE SCALE FOR USE

The XTC Standard Counting Scale is a high performance industrial counting scale that accurately and dependably counts parts of all shapes and sizes.

This manual provides not only the detailed information on how to operate the scale, but also useful messages for service and maintenance.

Please read this manual thoroughly and familiarize yourself with all the safety requirements. All service procedures must only be performed by authorized personnel.

This chapter gives detailed instructions and important information regarding the successful installation of the Xpress Standard Counting Scale.

ENVIRONMENT

Before you install the scale, identify the best location for the equipment. The proper environment enhances its operation and longevity. Keep in mind the following factors, which might have a negative influence on the scale's operation:

Vibration: Vibration diminishes the scale’s ability to measure accurately. Electrical machinery such as conveyors and drill presses can cause inaccurate and non-repeatable readings. The scale may also read inaccurately if it is not leveled properly.

Air currents: Moving air can cause the scale to read wind movement as an additional force and cause inconsistency in the weighing results.

Friction: A scale cannot measure accurately if an object is rubbing or pressing against the scale platform.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

Please inspect the package immediately upon receipt. If the box is damaged, check for internal damage and file a freight claim with the carrier if necessary. If the container is undamaged, open the box, remove the scale and place it on a solid, flat surface. Please keep the packing material and shipping insert in case you need to return the scale to an Xpress representative.

STANDARD COUNTING SCALE

APW ENHANCEMENT

APW enhancement improves the accuracy of an APW. APW enhancement is based on the fact that an inaccurate APW, while not able to accurately count large numbers of parts, will reliably count a small number. This allows a determination of APW based on a larger weight. Given enough enhancements, the APW becomes very accurate.

This function permits the operator to continuously update the APW based on larger and larger samples. As additional pieces are placed on the scale, a new APW can be calculated based on the new total sample weight and count.

The APW can be enhanced constantly up to 4% of the scale capacity. To ensure a minimum APW initial accuracy, a sample weight of at least five display increments must be used. There is a selection in setup mode which increases the minimum sample to 0.015%, 0.1% or 0.2% of capacity.

When using APW enhancement, you must not add more pieces to the scale than what can be counted accurately using the current APW (about the same pieces, which have already been counted). If this maximum is exceeded, a warning of [OVER] will be displayed for approximately two seconds then will automatically clear. The operator can remove parts until [OVER] will not be displayed again.

If the operator ignores the [OVER] display and adds more pieces (or removes more in count-out sample mode), no further APW enhancement will be done for the current transaction. If the proper procedure is followed, the scale will continue to enhance the APW until 4% of the scale capacity is reached. Once the counting weight reaches 4%, APW enhancement is discontinued.

Notice: The APW inputted via keyboard or recalled from an ID can not be enhanced.

Note

1) The standard model is set to level 1 prior to being shipped from the factory.

2) The C dimension and the remained paper length are the calculated values. There may be some variations in actual mechanism.

3) As looseness will occur with the paper, leading to an increase in discrepancies between the C dimensions and remaining paper length, when the paper being used has a printer thickness of 85

µm, it is rec-

ommended that Level 2 is used.

8. Periodical Cleaning

Printed characters may become partially unclear due to accumulated paper dust and dirt. To prevent such a problem, paper dust collected in the paper holder and paper transport section and on the surface of the thermal head must be removed periodically. Such cleaning is recommended to be carried out once six month or one million lines.

8-1. Cleaning the Thermal Head

To remove blackish dust collected on the surface of the thermal head, wipe it with Isopropyl alcohol (IPA).

Note: The thermal head is easy to damage, so clean it gently with a soft cloth.

Take sufficient care not to scratch it when cleaning it.

8-2. Cleaning the Paper Holder

Use a soft cloth to remove paper dust from the paper holder and paper transport section.

7-1. Prévention des bourrages de papier

Il convient de ne jamais toucher le papier pendant son éjection et avant qu’il soit coupé. Appuyer ou tirer sur le papier pendant son éjection risque de provoquer un bourrage, des problèmes de coupure ou d’avance de ligne.

7-2. Correction de bourrages de papier

En cas de bourrage de papier, procédez comme suit afin d’y remédier : (1)Mettez l’appareil hors tension. (2)Tirez le levier tout à fait vers le bas afin d’ouvrir le capot de l’imprimante.

Si le couvercle de l’imprimante ne s’ouvre pas sur les modèles à coupe-papier automatique, c’est que celui-ci n’est pas à sa position d’origine. Dans ce cas, ramenez le coupe-papier à sa position d’origine en suivant les instructions de la section 7-3. Ouvre le couvercle de l’imprimante lorsque le papier coincé a été retiré.

(3)Retirez le papier bloqué.

Remarque:Veillez à ne pas endommager l’imprimante lors du retrait du

papier bloqué. Veillez particulièrement à ne pas toucher la tête d’impression thermique en raison de sa fragilité.

(4)Veillez à insérer le rouleau de papier tout droit et refermez avec soin le capot

de l’imprimante. Remarque 1: Le papier doit être placé bien droit. Si vous refermez le capot

de l’imprimante alors que le papier est de travers (voir illustration), un bourrage peut se produire.

Remarque 2: Verrouillez le capot de l’imprimante en appuyant sur les

côtés. Ne pas essayer de refermer le capot en appuyant sur son centre. Le capot pourrait ne pas se verrouiller correctement.

(5)Mettez l’imprimante sous tension. Assurez-vous que la DEL ERROR n’est

pas allumée. Remarque:Tant que la DEL ERROR est allumée, l’imprimante n’accepte

aucune commande. Il faut donc veiller à ce que le capot de l’imprimante soit verrouillé.

Wahl eines Aufstellungsorts für den Drucker

Bevor Sie den Drucker auspacken, sollten Sie einige Minuten damit verbringen, einen geeigneten Aufstellungsort auszusuchen. Denken Sie dabei an die folgenden Punkte: ✓ Den Drucker auf einem flachen, aber festen Untergrund aufstellen,

wo keine Vibrationen vorhanden sind.

✓ Die verwendete Steckdose soll in der Nähe und frei zugänglich sein. ✓ Sicherstellen, daß der Drucker nahe genug am Computer ist, um die

Geräte mit dem Druckerkabel verbinden zu können.

✓ Sicherstellen, daß der Drucker vor direktem Sonnenlicht geschützt ist. ✓ Sicherstellen, daß der Drucker ausreichend weit von Heizkörpern

entfernt steht.

✓ Dafür sorgen, daß die Umgebung des Druckers sauber, trocken und

staubfrei ist.

✓ Sicherstellen, daß der Drucker an eine einwandfreie Stromzufuhr

angeschlossen ist. Er sollte nicht an Steckdosen angeschlossen werden, an denen bereits Geräte mit möglichen Netzstörungen wie Kopierer, Kühlschränke u.a. angeschlossen sind.

✓ Den Drucker nicht an Orten mit hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit aufstellen.

3-2. Anschluß an ein Peripheriegerät

Es kann ein Peripheriegerät an den Drucker mit einem Modularstecker angeschlossen werden. Im folgenden wird beschrieben, wie der Ferritkern angebracht und die Verbindung hergestellt wird. Siehe “Modularstecker” auf Seite 108 für den Typ von Modularstecker, der dazu erforderlich ist. Beachten Sie, daß der Drucker nicht mit einem Modularstecker oder Kabel ausgestattet ist. Diese Teile müssen vom Anwender besorgt werden.

Wichtig!

Vor dem Anschließen der Kabel sicherstellen, daß der Drucker ausgeschaltet und vom Netz getrennt ist.

(1)Schließen Sie das Peripheriegerätekabel an die Buchse an der Rückseite des

Druckers an.

Wichtig!

Nicht eine Telefonleitung an die Peripheriebuchse anschließen. Wenn dies geschieht, besteht die Gefahr von Schäden am Drucker. Aus Sicherheitsgründen außerdem nicht Verdrahtung an die Peripheriebuchse anschließen, wenn die Möglichkeit besteht, daß zu starke Spannung anliegt.

3-3. Anschließen des optionalen Netzteils

Hinweis:Vor dem Anschließen/Abtrennen des Netzteils stellen Sie sicher,

daß der Drucker und alle angeschlossenen Gerät ausgeschaltet sind. Außerdem sollte der Netzstecker abgezogen sein.

(1)Schließen Sie das Netzteil an das Netzkabel an.

Hinweis:Verwenden Sie nur das vorgesehene Netzteil und Netzkabel.

(2)Das Netzteil am Stecker des Druckers anschließen. (3)Stecken Sie den Netzstecker des Netzteils in eine Steckdose ein.

Wichtig!

Beim Abziehen des Kabels immer am Stecker ziehen und nicht am Kabel. Durch das Lösen der Verriegelung wird das Abziehen des Steckers leicht möglich. Wenn stark am Kabel selber gezogen wird, kann der Stecker beschädigt werden.
