1.2 Intended Use
The label printer is a state-of-the-art device which complies with the
recognized safety-related rules and regulations. Despite this, a danger
to life and limb of the user or third parties could arise and the label
printer or other property could be damaged while operating the device.
The label printer may only be used while in proper working order and
for the intended purpose. Users must be safe, aware of potential
dangers and must comply with the operating instructions. Faults, in
particular those which affect safety, must be remedied immediately.

The label printer is solely intended to print suitable media which have
been approved by the manufacturer. Any other or additional use is not
intended. The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for damage resulting
from misuse. Any misuse is at your own risk.
Intended used includes heeding the operating manual, including the
maintenance recommendations/regulations specified by the
manufacturer.
NOTICE!
The complete documentation is included in the scope of
delivery on CD ROM and can also currently be found in the
internet.
1.3 Important Notes
The label printer can be used in thermal as well as in thermal transfer
applications.
The label printer is equipped with 8 vector, 6 bitmap and 6
proportional fonts. It can be printed inverse, in italic format or 90
degrees turned fonts.
The handling of our durable label printers is easy and comfortable.
The parameter settings are made at the touchscreen.
Time-saving firmware update is possible by interface. As default, the
print module is equipped with a parallel, serial, USB and Ethernet
interface. Additionally, the print module is equipped with an USB Host
that permits the connection of an external USB keyboard and/or an
USB memory stick. The print module automatically recognizes by
which interface it is controlled.
The label printer is delivered with a printer driver and the free label
software Labelstar Office LITE. Existing labels can be saved to a CF
card or an USB stick, opened and/or modified with a PC keyboard and
finally stand-alone printed.

2 Safety Instructions
The label printer is designed for power supply systems of
110-230V. Connect the print module only to electrical outlets with a
ground contact.
Couple the label printer to devices using extra low voltage only.
Before making or undoing connections, switch off all devices involved
(computer, printer, accessories etc.).
Operate the label printer in a dry environment only and do not get it
wet (sprayed water, mist etc.).
Do not operate the label printer in explosive atmosphere and not in
proximity of high voltage power lines.
Operate the label printer only in an environment protected against
abrasive dust, swarf and other similar impurity.
If the label printer is operated with the cover open, ensure that
clothing, hair, jewellery and similar personal items do not contact the
exposed rotating parts.
The print unit can get hot during printing. Do not touch the printhead
during operation. Cool down the print unit before changing material,
removal or adjustment.
Carry out only the actions described in these operating instructions.
Any work beyond this may only be performed by the manufacturer or
upon agreement with the manufacturer.
Unauthorized interference with electronic modules or their software
can cause malfunctions.
Other unauthorized work or modifications to the print module can
endanger operational safety.
Always have service work done in a qualified workshop, where the
personnel have the technical knowledge and tools required to do the
necessary work.
There are warning stickers on the label printer that draw your attention
to dangers. Therefore the warning stickers are not to be removed as
then you and others cannot be aware of dangers and may be injured.
DANGER!
Danger to life and limb from power supply!
Do not open the casing.

2.1 Operating Conditions
Before initial operation and during operation these operating
conditions have to be observed to guarantee save and interference-
free service of our printers.
Therefore please carefully read these operating conditions.
Shipment and storage of our printers are only allowed in original
packing.
Installation and initial operation of printer is only allowed if operating
conditions were fulfilled.
Initial operation, programming, operation, cleaning and service of our
printers are only recommended after careful study of our manuals.
Operation of printer is only allowed by especially trained persons.
NOTICE!
Perform trainings regularly.
Content of the training are chapter 2.1 (Operating Conditions),
chapter 5 (Loading Media) and chapter 7 (Maintenance and
Cleaning).
These indications are also valid for someone else's equipment
supplied by us.
Only use original spare and exchange parts.
Please contact the manufacturer with respect to spare/wear parts.
The installation place of printer should be even, free of vibration and
currents of air are to be avoided.
The printers have to be installed to ensure optimal operation and
servicing.
The installation of the power supply to connect our printers has to be
effected according to the international rules and regulations,
especially the recommendations of one of the three following
commissions:
International Electronic Commission (IEC)
European Committee for Electro technical Standardisation
(CENELEC)
Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE)
Our printers are constructed according to VDE and have to be
connected to a grounded conductor. The power supply has to be
equipped with a grounded conductor to eliminate internal interfering
voltage.

All connecting lines have to be guided in shielded lines. Shielding has
to be connected on both sides to the corner shell.
It is not allowed to guide lines parallel to power lines. If a parallel
guiding cannot be avoided a distance of at least 0.5 m has to be
observed.
Temperature of lines between: −15 … +80 °C.
It is only allowed to connect devices which fulfil the request 'Safety
Extra Low Voltage' (SELV). These are generally devices which are
checked corresponding to EN 60950.
The data cables must be completely protected and provide with metal
or metallised connector housings. Shielded cables and connectors are
necessary, in order to avoid radiant emittance and receipt of electrical
disturbances.
Shielded line:
4 x 2 x 0,14 mm² ( 4 x 2 x AWG 26)
6 x 2 x 0,14 mm² ( 6 x 2 x AWG 26)
12 x 2 x 0,14 mm² (12 x 2 x AWG 26)
Sending and receiving lines have to be twisted in pairs.
Maximum line length:
with interface V 24 (RS-232C) - 3 m (with shielding)
with parallel interface - 3 m (with shielding)
with USB - 3 m
with Ethernet - 100 m
To avoid inadmissible heating, free air convection has to be ensured.

3.3 Control Inputs and Outputs
By means of a maximum of 16 control inputs and outputs which, in the
following, are also referred to as ports, different functions of the printer
system can be triggered and operating states can be displayed.
The ports are provided by means of a D-Sub bushing (26pin HD) at
the rear panel of the printer system and are galvanically isolated from
protective earth (PE) by means of an optocoupler semi-conductor
route.
Each port can be configured as input and as output. This function
however, is predefined in the printer software and cannot be changed
by the user.
The following parameters can be changed and set by using the menu:
debounce times and high or low active.
