2. Preparing the Printer

NOTE: If the Peel/Tear door, ODV2D-V2 Interface PCBA and Data/Power ribbon cable are pre-installed, skip forward to

section 5. Installing Mounting Bracket to Printer

1. Set the printer power switch to O (Off). Switch located on rear of printer.

WARNING Always unplug the printer power cord from the printer or the power outlet before doing any

installation procedure. Failure to remove power could result in injury to you and damage the equipment. You will be instructed when to apply power.

2. Unplug the printer power cord from the printer or the AC power source.

3. Replace Original Peel/Tear Door Assembly

1. Open the pivoting deck on the printer by rotating the deck lock lever fully clockwise. Remove the two thumbscrews on the existing Peel/Tear Door assembly and remove the assembly from the printer and set it aside.

Figure 1: Open Deck Locking Lever, remove Peel/Tear plate

2. Install the ODV2D-V2 Peel/Tear Door Assembly, provided in the kit, to the front of the printer. Secure the door to the printer with the two M5x16mm thumb screws provided. Bias the door downwards while tightening the screws.

4. Install ODV2D-V2 Interface PCBA and Cable

1. Use a 2.5mm hex key to loosen the three captive screws securing the frame side cover.

2. Tilt the side cover out from the top and lift it up until the tabs along the lower edge disengage from the slots in the base of the printer.

Frame Boss

Wire Saddle

Plastic Plug

CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic damage to electronic components, always wear a properly grounded static

wrist strap when you work around the printed circuit boards.

3. Put on a static wrist strap and ground it to an unpainted part of the printer frame. Touch the frame with the hand wearing the wrist strap.

4. Raise the media cover and remove the plastic plug from the frame opening and set it aside.

Figure 4: Removing the Plastic Plug

5. On the electronics side of the printer, use long nose pliers to hold and insert the provided wire saddle into the frame boss opening.

Figure 5: Installing the New Wire Saddle

6. Install the provided ODV2D-V2 Interface PCBA by plugging its connector into J10 at the top right side of the

J10 Controller PCBA

Brass Standoff

PCBA Hole

9. On the electronics side of the printer, route the ODV2D power/data flat cable through the existing wire saddle on the left that holds the lower media, label taken and pivoting deck lock sensor cables, then through the new wire saddle. Lock the ends of the wire saddles to constrain the cables. Secure the Ferrite Core to the wire saddle using a tie-wrap.

CAUTION: In step 9 route the Power/Data cable where it cannot contact any of the ribbon motor gears.

5. Installing ODV2D-V2 and Mounting Bracket to Printer

Lock Levers

Power/Data Cable

M4x10mm Flanged Mounting Screws (3)

IMPORTANT: The ODV2D-V2 unit comes with a protective plastic film over the scan glass to protect from finger

prints. Be sure this cover remains in place when handing the assembly. Do not remove it until instructed later in this procedure.

1. On the media side of the printer, hold the ODV2D-V2 using your left hand with your fingers under the top recessed area at the back of the unit. Align the three holes on the mounting bracket with the threaded holes in the printer frame. Thread the three M4x10mm flanged SHC screws provided and then use a 3mm hex key to firmly secure the ODV bracket against the printer frame.

Figure 12: Installing the ODV2D-V2 w/Bracket to the Printer Frame

2. Plug the power/data ribbon flat cable into the connector at the back of the ODV.

NOTE: Be sure the plug is oriented the same direction as shown in Figure 12 and secure the plug using the connector

Lock Levers.

ODV2D-V2 Bracket Tabs

Figure 14: Routing the Power/Data Cable on the Bracket and into the Frame Opening

3. Route the Power/Data cable between the printer frame and both ODV2D-V2 bracket tabs shown in Figure 14. Make sure the cable is not pinched between the bracket and the frame.

6. Coarse Mechanical Alignment

Locking Tabs (3)

1. Loosen the two captured screws securing the side plastic cover located on the inboard side of the ODV, then squeeze the top and bottom of the cover to release its 3 locking tabs and remove the cover to access the locking and adjustment screws. Set the cover aside.

Figure 15: Removing the Plastic Cover on the ODV2D-V2

2. Place a 6 inch square between the ODV2D-V2 and the mounting bracket to verify that the back of the ODV is at an exact 90 degree angle with the ODV mounting bracket. There should be no gaps on either edge of the square. Proceed to Step 3 if adjustment is needed.

Figure 16: Verifying a 90 Degree Angle Exists Between the ODV and Bracket

Small Locking Cap Screws

Setscrew ‘A’’

Large Cap Screw

DO NOT TOUCH

3. Loosen the 3 small Locking Cap Screws by turning each one 1/2 turn CCW (Counterclockwise) using a 2.5mm hex key.

Figure 17: ODV2D-V2 Locking Screws

NOTE: The Large Cap Screw torque value is factory set. DO NOT TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN THIS SCREW. The screw

captures a compression spring that provides tension between the ODV2D and the mounting bracket, preventing the ODV2D from moving freely when the small locking screws are loosened.

4. Then while holding the square in place (See Figure 16), adjust Setscrew ‘A’ CW using a 2mm hex key to move the ODV2 forward or CCW to move it back until each edge of the square is flush against the ODV and the mounting bracket.

Figure 18: ODV2D-V2 Adjustment Setscrew A

NOTE: Do not tighten any of the locking screws at this time. You will be instructed to do so in a later step.

Bubble Level

5. Place the bubble level edge of the 6 inch square on the same flat surface that the printer is on and note the position of the bubble.

Figure 19: Bubble Level Adjustment

NOTE: The bubble may NOT be centered in the level. It is not necessary that the table, the printer or the ODV2D be

perfectly level, only that the angles of these surfaces be match.

Figure 20: ODV2D-V2 Bubble Level Adjustment

6. Next rest the square on the top surface of the ODV2D-V2. The bubble should be at the same position as noted in step 5.

Setscrew ‘B’

Figure 21: ODV2D-V2 Level Adjustment Setscrew B

7. If ODV2D-V2 needs to be adjusted refer to Figure 20 and do the following: Use a 2mm hex key and turn Setscrew ‘B’ CW to move the bubble to the right or CCW to move the bubble to the left.

NOTE: After leveling the ODV2D-V2, do not tighten any of the locking screws at this time. You will be instructed to do so in a later step.
