This manual contains the safety instructions that must be observed to avoid potential hazards that could result in personal injuries or damages. The safety instructions have been classified according to the potential risk involved as follows.

Danger: "Danger" indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in death or serious bodily injury if the safety instruction is not observed.

Warning: "Warning" indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in bodily injury if the safety instruction is not observed.

Caution: "Caution" indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in property damage if the safety instruction is not observed.

Notice: "Notice" contains general information that relates to the safe operation of the computer.

1. PRICOM

Warning: To avoid the risk of electric shock or possible damage, never remove the cover of PRICOM and never disassemble PRICOM. Contact the dealer of silex technology products for assistance if repair or adjustment is necessary.

Users Manual SX

2. POWER SUPPLY

Danger: Never attempt to disassemble or repair an power supply, as exposure to electric shock hazards may result. Always contact the dealer of silex technology products if repair or replacement is required.

Users Manual SX

Warning: Always use the power supply provided with PRICOM to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the computer. Using an unauthorized and incompatible power supply, in violation of this warning, could result in bodily injury or property damage.

Caution: Never bend or twist the power cord, and never pull on the power cord in an attempt to remove the plug from the socket. Never place heavy objects on the power cord, as this could result in damage to the cord. Always grasp the plug directly when unplugging the power cord to avoid causing any damage to the cord.

3. NETWORK CABLES

Danger: Never use damaged or worn network cables. The use of damaged or worn network cables could result in electric shock, burns or fire.

Users Manual SX

4. PROPER TREATMENT OF THE DEVICE

Warning: To avoid any risk of short-circuit, fire or other internal damage, never allow any metal objects such as screws or paper clips to fall into the device. If that should happen, immediately turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Contact the dealer of silex

Users Manual SX

technology products for appropriate assistance. To avoid damage to PRICOM, never allow any liquids to spill into any part of PRICOM, and never expose PRICOM to rain or water. If any of these events should occur, turn off PRICOM immediately.

Contact the dealer of silex technology, Inc. products for assistance before attempting to use PRICOM again. To prevent computer malfunction or equipment damage, never place PRICOM on top of (or adjacent to) a heating device, and never expose it in direct sunlight. Never store PRICOM in a locked and unventilated vehicle, (where excessive internal temperatures may be encountered). Always unplug the power cord during lightning storms in order to protect the device from possible damage as a result of a power surge. If PRICOM is ever dropped and damaged, or if you ever detect the emission of an extraordinary odor or excessive heat, unplug the power cord and turn off the printer and PRICOM immediately. Contact the dealer of silex technology, Inc. products for appropriate assistance.

Notice: If PRICOM has been exposed to cold temperature, allow it to warm to room temperature before turning on. This will prevent the occurrence of harmful condensation within the device (this is a particularly important concern when the device is being used in cold climates). Avoid using PRICOM in dusty areas since dust particles can affect the reliability of PRICOM. Contact the dealer of silex technology products if your device has become contaminated with dust or dirt particles.

1. About PRICOM 3100

This chapter explains PRICOM operating environment, outline and how to connect PRICOM to the network.

Features

-Directly connects to the printer parallel interface port.

-Supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX (Auto-detection).

-Embedded Pop-up Printer Status Monitor.

-“Quick Setup” is included in the accessory kit for easy configuration.

-Management utility “AdminManager” is included in the accessory kit.

--Printing software “JC-Print2002” is included in the accessory kit.

-Embedded HTTP enables you to configure PRICOM via Web browser.

-Embedded e-mail sending/receiving function.

-Supports multi-protocol (TCP/IP model does not support IPX/SPX, AppleTalk).

-Enhanced Windows XP compatibility NetBIOS over TCP/IP is embedded. This allows NetBIOS printing environment to be configured on the PC running on Windows XP installed as the standard OS, without additional protocol installation.

-Addition of security countermeasures IP filter function is embedded to meet the need for security measures. This function limits the access to PRICOM at the IP address level. That is, the function enables access from IP addresses only within the specific range. By disabling any access from IP addresses outside the specific range, the printer is protected against unauthorized access.

-Supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) environment In an environment where WINS server exists, register an IP address solution information on NetBIOS name to WINS server.

-Embedded DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) Sends PRICOM IP address to DNS server having DDNS function. When PRICOM is dynamically given an IP address from DHCP server, it is immediately reflected upon Domain Name System, avoiding inconsistency from occurring between the domain name and the IP address.

-Embedded Pop-up Status Monitoring The embedded solution can monitor and alert in your PC screen for typical printer status such as paper out or error conditions.
