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.
Initial Operation

After all connections are completed, switch on the control unit.
The main menu appears which shows the model type, current date and time.

Insert transfer ribbon material (see description below).
Load Transfer Ribbon
NOTICE!
As for the electrostatic unloading the thin coating of the thermal printhead or other electronic parts can be damaged,
the transfer ribbon should be antistatic.
The use of wrong materials can lead to printer malfunctions and the guarantee can expire.
NOTICE!
Before a new transfer ribbon roll is loaded, the printhead must be cleaned using printhead and roller cleaner
(97.20.002).
The handling instructions for the use of Isopropanol (IPA) must be observed. In the case of skin or eye contact,
immediately wash off the fluid thoroughly with running water. If the irritation persists, consult a doctor. Ensure good
ventilation.
CAUTION!
Impact of static material on people!

Use antistatic transfer ribbon, because static discharge can occur when removing.
