1-3 Installation
1-3a CONNECTING THE PRINTER
äConnection 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.
ÊConnect the power cable to the power supply unit, then plug the power
cable connector into the printer.
ËNext, plug the end of the power cable into an earthed power socket.
ÌPower up the printer by switching the switch to ON.
ÍThe display on the control panel lights up and the message
‘INITIALISATION’ is displayed. Once the start-up sequence has nished,
the screen displays ‘READY’ and the LED is a steady green light. Should
this not be the case, then either installation has not been carried out
correctly or the printer is not working properly. 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 the switch and cable 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.
äConnecting the USB cable
Under no circumstances should you connect the USB data cable before installation of the printer driver is
complete.
Refer to the section on printer driver installation for further details, and follow the instructions carefully.

1-3b RIBBONS
Evolis original ribbons optimise your printer’s operation and avoid causing damage to it. The use of ribbons from other suppliers is liable to
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.
äFitting the ribbon
Ensure that the appropriate ribbon type is selected in the print driver.
The Securion printer accepts two types of ribbon:
lColour or monochrome ribbons intended for the printing module, identiable from their core tted with a toothed wheel
lSpecial lms intended for the lamination module, identiable from their hollow core
For optimum print and lamination quality, Evolis recommends that the printer is fully cleaned every time the
ribbon is changed. This is left to the judgement of users, who will nonetheless take care to comply with the
mandatory cleaning cycles in order to keep the equipment in full working condition (see the Maintenance
section). Validity of the manufacturer’s warranty is dependent on adherence to cleaning cycles.
