Unpack/Pack the Direct Print Module

CAUTION!
Danger of injury by imprudent handling when lifting or placing the printing system. Risk of crushing by unexpected
linear movement of the printing carriage.

Do not underestimate the weight of the printing system (7 ... 23 kg).

Do not lift the printing system at the hood.

Protect the printing system against uncontrolled movement.

Lift the direct print module out of the box.

Check the direct print module for transport damages.

Check delivery for completeness.

Scope of Delivery

•
Print mechanics.
•
Control unit.
•
Power cable.
•
Connection cable (printhead/motors, sensors, power).
•
Mini controller.
•
Manometer.
•
Pneumatic tube.
•

Connect the Direct Print Module

The direct print module is equipped with a versatile power supply unit. The device may be operated with a mains voltage of
230 V AC / 50 ... 60 Hz without any adjustments or modifications.
CAUTION!
The direct print module can be damaged by undefined switch-on currents.

Set the power switch to '0' before plugging in the direct print module.

Insert the power cable into power connection socket.

Insert the plug of power cable into a grounded electrical outlet.
NOTICE!
Insufficient or missing grounding can cause faults during operation.
Ensure that all computers and connection cables connected to the direct print module are grounded.

Connect the direct print module to a computer or network with a suitable cable.

Before Initial Operation


Mount the print mechanics.

Connect all cables between the print mechanics and the control unit.

Protect the cables against unintentional unscrewing.

Connect the compressed air line.

Connect the control unit and PC by printer interface.

Connect the control unit and packaging machine by inputs and outputs.

Connect the power cable of control unit.

Print Control

As the direct print module is always in control mode, print orders can only be transmitted but not started via the existing
interfaces (serial, parallel, USB or Ethernet). The print is started by a start signal to the 'print start-control input'. So that the
control unit detects when the start signal can be set, it is possible and mostly necessary to track the print status via the control
outputs.
