1-3 Installation

1-3a CONNECTING THE PRINTER

³Connection to the power supply

The printer must be connected to a properly protected and earthed electrical installation.

FI: Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoitus koskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan.

NO: Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt.

SE: Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.

This is a Class A device. Operation of this equipment in a residential

area may cause interference to radio communications. Should

this occur, the user may be asked to take appropriate measures.

Connect the power cable to the power supply unit, then plug

the power cable connector into the printer.

Next, plug the end of the power cable into an earthed power

socket.

Power up the printer by switching the switch to ON.

The display on the control panel lights up and the message

_ INITIALISATION _ is displayed. Once the start-up sequence has

_ READY _ and the LED is a steady

green light. Should this not be the case, the installation has not

been carried out correctly.Check the installation.

Before attempting any maintenance, always ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position and that the

power cable is unplugged. For your personal safety, ensure that both remain easy to access, especially in the

event of an emergency.

To save energy, the printer will automatically switch itself to standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.

damage your printer and voids the manufacturer’s warranty for the printer.

For optimum print quality, Evolis recommends that the printer is fully cleaned every time the ribbon is changed. See the Servicing and

Maintenance section of this manual.

³Fitting the ribbon

Ensure that the appropriate ribbon type is selected in the print driver.

Open the printing module cover.

Insert the ribbon as shown.
