1-2. Handling Notes

1. Install the unit on a stand or table which has a flat, even surface.

2. Do not connect the AC power plug to the same outlet used for other electrical
noise generating devices (such as an electrical motor, etc.)

IMPORTANT!

Install the printer near an easily accessible socket-outlet.

3. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign objects into the unit
as these could cause the printer to malfunction.

4. When cleaning the outer surface of the unit, wipe away dirt, foreign matter,
etc., with a soft cloth, soaked in a neutral detergent.

5. Do not attempt to print when the paper or ribbon cartridge are not loaded in
the printer as this could damage the print head.

6. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.

7. Do not open the front cover while printing (this is interpreted as a mechanical
error and the printer will stop).

3. FERRITE CORE INSTALLATION

t

NOTE: Take special care when following the procedures listed below.

■ A ferrite core is necessary on the printer interface cable to prevent the

generation of noise. If a parallel interface cable is used, a ferrite core must be
installed on the cable. If a serial intserface cable is used, a ferrite core must be
installed on the cable for all areas, except the US and Hong Kong.

■ The ferrite core is normally packed so it is open, as shown in Fig 3-2. If you

find that a ferrite core is not open, use a pointed object to pry the plastic lock
of the ferrite core apart (Fig 3-1). When you do, take care not to damage the
ferrite core or the plastic lock.

1. Installez l’appareil sur un support ou sur une table dont la surface est plate et
uniforme.

2. Ne branchez pas l’appareil à la même prise secteur que d’autres appareils
produisant des bruits électriques (appareils ayant un moteur électrique, etc.).

IMPORTANT !

Installez l’imprimante le plus près possible d’une prise secteur facilement
accessible.

3. Veillez à ne pas laisser tomber des trombones, punaises ou autres objets dans
l’appareil, cela risque de causer un mauvais fonctionnement.

4. Nettoyez la surface de l’imprimante à l’aide d’un chiffon doux humidifié et
d’un détergent neutre.

5. Ne lancez pas l’impression si le papier ou la cartouche de ruban ne sont pas
installés, sous peine d’endommager la tête d’impression.

6. N’utilisez jamais un rouleau de papier dont l’extrémité est collée au rouleau
central.

7. N’ouvrez pas le cache avant de l’appareil pendant l’impression ; en effet cela
serait interprété comme étant une erreur mécanique et l’impression s’inter-
romprait automatiquement.

3. INSTALLATION DES FERRITKERNS

t

HINWEIS: Wenden Sie bei der folgenden Montage besondere Vorsicht an.

■ Um Geräuscherzeugung zu verhindern ist ein Ferritkern für das Drucker-

Interfacekabel notwendig. Wenn ein paralleles Interfacekabel verwendet
wird, muß ein Ferritkern für das Kabel installiert werden. Wird ein serielles
Interfacekabel verwendet, muß für alle Länder, außer den USA und Hong
Kong, ein Ferritkern installiert werden.

■ Der Ferritkern ist normalerweise so

verpackt, daß das Gehäuse geöffnet ist,
wie das in der Abbildung 3-2 darge­stellt ist. Sollte der Ferritkern geschlos­sen sein, öffnen Sie ihn, indem Sie die
Plastiklasche mit einem Schraubenzie­her oder ähnlichem Werkzeug vom
Ferritkern abheben (siehe Abbildung
3-1). Wenden Sie dabei besondere
Vorsicht an, um weder den Ferritkern,
noch die Plastiklasche zu beschädigen.

1-2. Note sul maneggio

1. Installare l’unità su un appoggio o un tavolo dalla superficie piana e regolare.

2. Non collegare la spina del cavo di alimentazione CA ad una presa cui sono
collegati altri dispositivi che generano disturbi elettrici (come motori elettirici,
ecc.).

IMPORTANTE!

Installare la stampante vicino ad una presa di corrente facilmente accessibile.

3. Fare attenzione a non lasciar cadere graffette, spilli o altri oggetti estranei
nell’unità perché possono causare malfunzionamenti della stampante.

4. Quando si pulisce la superficie esterna dell’unità, togliere lo sporco, materiali
estranei, ecc. con un panno morbido inumidito con detergente neutro.

5. Non tentare di stampare quando la carta o la cartuccia del nastro non sono
inserite nella stampante perchè tale azione può danneggiare la testina di
stampa.

6. Usare solo carta in rotolo che non è incollata al supporto centrale.

7. Non aprire il coperchio anteriore durante la stampa (questo viene considerato
un errore meccanico e la stampante si ferma).

3. INSTALLAZIONE DEL NUCLEO IN FERRITE

t

NOTA: Prestare particolare attenzione durante l’esecuzione delle procedure

indicate di seguito.

■ Per prevenire la generazione di disturbi elettrici, è necessario dotare il cavo

d’interfaccia della stampante di un anello di ferrite. Se si utilizza un cavo
d’interfaccia parallelo, è obbligatorio montare un anello di ferrite sul cavo. Se si
utilizza un cavo d’interfaccia seriale, è obbligatorio montare un anello di ferrite
sul cavo in tutti i paesi, eccetto gli USA e Hong Kong.

■ L’anello di ferrite è normalmente con-

fezionato aperto, come mostrato in Fig.
3-2. Se si trova uno degli anelli di
ferrite chiuso, aprirlo utilizzando un
oggetto appuntito per far leva sul
dispositivo di chiusura di plastica del­l’anello di ferrite (Fig. 3-1). Fare atten­zione a non danneggiare il nucleo di
ferrite o il dispositivo di chiusura di
plastica.
