GENERAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE SERVICE FOR THIS EQUIPMENT

The installation and service shall be done by a qualified service technician.

1. Installation

- Select a suitable place for installation. Avoid excessive heat, high humidity, dust, vibration and direct sunlight.

- The equipment shall be installed near the socket outlet and shall be accessible.

- Be sure to fix and plug in the power cable securely after the installation so that no one trips over it.

- When the equipment is used after the option is removed, be sure to install the parts or the covers which have been taken off so that the inside of the equipment is not exposed.

2. General Precautions at Service

- Be sure to turn the power OFF and unplug the power cable during service.

- Unplug the power cable and clean the area around the prongs of the plug and socket outlet once a year or more. A fire may occur when dust lies on this area.

- When the parts are disassembled, reassembly is the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to install small parts such as screws, washers, pins, E-rings, star washers in the wrong places.

- Basically, the equipment should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.

- The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband since the ICs on it may be damaged due to static electricity.

Caution:

Before using the wristband, unplug the power cable of the equipment and make sure that there are no charged objects which are not insulated in the vicinity.

- Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the print head.

- Make sure that the equipment will not operate before touching potentially dangerous places (e.g.

rotating/operating sections such as gears).

- Be careful when removing the covers since there might be the parts with very sharp edges

underneath.

- Use recommended measuring instruments or equivalents.

- Return the equipment to the original state and check the operation when the service is finished.

3. General operations

- Check the procedures and perform them as described in this Manual.

- Avoid exposure to your skin and wear protective gloves as needed.

4. Cautionary Labels

- During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and cautionary labels to see if there is any dirt on

their surface and if they are properly stuck to the equipment.

5. Disposal of the Equipment, Supplies and Packing Materials

- Regarding the recovery and disposal of the equipment, supplies and packing materials, follow the

relevant local regulations or rules.

ALLGEMEINE SICHERHEITSMASSNAHMEN FÜR DIESES GERÄT

Die Installation und die Wartung sind von einem qualifizierten Service-Techniker durchzuführen.

1. Installation

- Einen geeigneten Standort für die Installation wählen. Standorte mit zuviel Hitze, hoher

Luftfeuchtigkeit, Staub, Vibrieren und direkter Sonneneinstrahlung sind zu vermeiden.

- Das Gerät ist in der Nähe der Steckdose zu installieren; diese muss leicht zu erreichen sein.

- Nach der Installation muss das Netzkabel richtig hineingesteckt und befestigt werden, damit niemand

darüber stolpern kann.

- Falls der Auspackungsstandort und der Installationsstandort des Geräts verschieden sind, die

Bildqualitätsjustierung (automatische Gammajustierung) je nach der Temperatur und

Luftfeuchtigkeit des Installationsstandorts und der Papiersorte, die verwendet wird, durchführen.

2. Allgemeine Sicherheitsmassnahmen in bezug auf die Wartung

- Während der Wartung das Gerät ausschalten und das Netzkabel herausziehen.

- Das Netzkabel herausziehen und den Bereich um die Steckerpole und die Steckdose die Umgebung

in der Nähe von den Steckerzacken und der Steckdose wenigstens einmal im Jahr reinigen. Wenn Staub sich in dieser Gegend ansammelt, kann dies ein Feuer verursachen.

- Wenn die Teile auseinandergenommen werden, wenn nicht anders in diesem Handbuch usw erklärt,

ist das Zusammenbauen in umgekehrter Reihenfolge durchzuführen. Aufpassen, dass kleine Teile wie Schrauben, Dichtungsringe, Bolzen, E-Ringe, Stern-Dichtungsringe, Kabelbäume nicht an den verkehrten Stellen eingebaut werden.

- Grundsätzlich darf das Gerät mit enfernten oder auseinandergenommenen Teilen nicht in Betrieb

genommen werden.

- Das PC-Board muss in einer Anti-elektrostatischen Hülle gelagert werden. Nur Mit einer Manschette

bei Betätigung eines Armbandes anfassen, sonst könnte es sein, dass die integrierten Schaltkreise durch statische Elektrizität beschädigt werden.

Vorsicht: Vor Benutzung der Manschette der Betätigung des Armbandes, das Netzkabel des Gerätes herausziehen und prüfen, dass es in der Nähe keine geladenen Gegenstände, die nicht isoliert sind, gibt.

- Auf keinen Fall Hochtemperaturbereiche, wie der Druckkopf, berühren.

- Vor dem Berühren potenziell gefährlicher Bereiche (z. B. drehbare oder betriebsrelevante Bereiche,

wie das Getriebe) sicherstellen, dass das Gerät sich nicht bedienen lässt.

- Beim Entfernen von Abdeckungen vorsichtig vorgehen, da sich darunter scharfkantige Komponenten

befinden können.

- Empfohlene oder gleichwertige Messgeräte verwenden.

- Nach Abschluss der Wartungsarbeiten das Gerät in den ursprünglichen Zustand zurück versetzen

und den einwandfreien Betrieb überprüfen.

3. Allgemeine Sicherheïtsmassnahmen

- Die Verfahren sind zu überprüfen und wie im diesem Handbuch beschrieben durchzuführen.

- Um Aussetzung zur Haut zur vermeiden, tragen Sie wenn nötig Schutzhandschuhe.

4. Warnetiketten

- Im Rahmen der Wartung unbedingt das Leistungsschild und die Etiketten mit Warnhinweisen

überprüfen, um sicherzustellen, dass sie nicht verschmutzt sind und korrekt am Gerät angebracht sind.
