1. Safety instructions
Read the following instructions carefully before starting up the SpeedMarking-Laser.
Observe the warnings and notices on the
SpeedMarking-Laser at all times.
• The mains voltage must correspond to
the system voltage given on the SpeedMarking-Laser type plate.
• Connect the device to a properly earthed
and fused socket outlet only. Do not use
a socket outlet already being used by
devices that are turned on and off at
regular intervals, such as photocopiers
or ventilators.
• Do not connect the SpeedMarking-Laser
to either a switched or a timer-controlled
socket outlet.
Do not use the computer system close to
potential electromagnetic disturbance
fields such as loudspeakers or base transceiver stations for mobile telephones.
If you connect the SpeedMarking-Laser to
the power supply via an extension cable,
ensure that the total nominal current of all
of the devices connected to the extension
cable does not exceed the capacity for that
extension cable. In addition, you should
ensure that the total nominal current of all
the devices plugged into the wall-mounted
socket outlet does not exceed the ampere
rating for that socket outlet.
Do not carry out repairs to the device yourself.
• Never use damaged or worn out power
cables.
• Connect the device to the mains only
with cable described in this guide.
• Avoid the usage of multiple cables.
• Connect the network cable directly
(never via an extension cable) to the
power socket.
• Keep the mains cable undamaged and
keep it in its original state. Do not place
any heavy objects on it. Do not pull at it
with force and do not bend it more than
necessary. A disregard of these instructions can lead to electrocution or fire.
• Place the device close to an accessible
power socket in order to be able to pull
the mains plug in case of an emergency.
• Never connect or disconnect the mains
plug to the power socket with wet hands.
There is a risk of electrocution.
Disconnect the SpeedMarking-Laser and
contact a qualified service engineer if any
of the following occurs:
• The power cord or plug are worn or damaged.
• A fluid has penetrated into the SpeedMarking-Laser.
• The SpeedMarking-Laser is allowed to
fall or the enclosure is damaged.
• The SpeedMarking-Laser does not operate normally or the standard of performance varies noticeably.
Keep any moisture or dust off the device.
Otherwise, there is the danger of fire or
electrocution.

• Do not spill any fluids into the SpeedMarking-Laser.
• Place the device onto a solid, flat surface. Otherwise, it could fall down and
lead to possible danger to personnel.
• For installation in limited space, make
sure that there is sufficient ventilation for
the device.
• Do not block or cover openings of the
SpeedMarking-Laser.
• Do not insert any objects into these
openings.
This device is not to be operated without supervision.
The internally-emitting radiation is kept inside the printer by the protective housing
and the external cover. The laser beam
cannot emit from the device during operation.
The printer cannot be used or maintained if
the protective cover is taken off the laser or
scanner unit. The reflective beam is invisible and can damage the eyes.
Warning signs (BGV A 8 (VBG 125) & DIN 4844)

2.2 Setting up the printer
• Place the device onto a solid, flat surface.
• Provide sufficient ventilation.
• The ambient conditions should be stable, e.g. the temperature and humidity fluctuations should be limited
(Temperature: 20 °C – 35 °C; Humidity: 55% – 75%).
• Avoid direct sunlight on the printer.
• The environment of the printer should be free of any chemicals.
The following dimensions show the space required for setting up the printer.
Figure 4 Space in front of and behind the printer
Figure 5 Space on both sides of the printer
Make sure that there is enough space in order:
• to open the upper cover
• to load material into the entry
• to empty the storage tray
• to be able to access the on/off switch
• to connect the mains and printer connection
• to use the operating panel

2.3 Unpacking the printer
Store all packaging material.
In case of repairs you should return the
printer in its original packaging to avoid any
possible damage in transit.

Caution
To avoid any damages, the toner cartridge
should be exposed to the sunlight only for
a few minutes.

7 The transparent plastic-sealing strip is at the right
side of the toner cartridge.
Pull the strip (30 - 35 cm) completely out of the
toner cartridge and dispose of it.
Avoid any contact with the black toner on
the strip.
If any toner gets on your clothing, wipe it of
f
by means of a dry cloth. Wash it subsequently with cold water.
8 Insert the toner cartridge into the printer. Observe
that the arrow on the toner cartridge is pointing in
the same direction as the arrow on the printer.
Insert the alignment rod for the roller in its designated holding fixture. Close the upper cover.
Figure 10 Insertion of toner cartridge
Never print without the cover of the
SpeedMarking-Laser. The possible light
exposure of the toner results in strong soiling of the device. The MultiCard strips will
be printed completely black.
2.5 Connection of printer cable
The SpeedMarking-Laser possesses a parallel connection. Use this connection, if
• a connection should be established to a computer
or laptop.
• your parallel cable has a standard length (up to
3 m).
