1 GENERAL INFORMATION
OPERATORS MANUAL
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
METAL DOT MATRIX i s a n a u to m a t i c f e e d e r ( METAL
DOT MATRIX 2000) and manual feeder (METAL
DOT MATRIX 1000) stamper unit which use and
new punch technolo y to stamp special
characters, symbols and also lo os on a variety
of metal plates, includin stainless steel,
aluminium, copper and brass (see chap. 1.5 for
more details). The various functions are controlled
by a microprocessor which mana es the internal
counters and the storin of data such as formats
and texts in an on board CMOS memory. A small
backup battery supplies the char e for the
memory thus permittin all information to be
saved and ready for subsequent use even if the
machine has been switched off.
The METAL DOT MATRIX system consists in an
stamper unit driven by a Personal Computer (not
supplied) by means of the dedicated CIM
software named SWORD.
The system may also run in offline mode, without
software, to facilitate settin operations.
OPERATOR MODE (ON LINE)
With the on line standard mode the stampin s
commands are transmitted by Host Computer
with the serial interface RS232 usin CIM, XON/
XOFF, STORED or MULTIEMBOSSER protocols. The
layout is defined on the Host Computer with the
Software supplied with the equipment (SWORD).
Refers to chap. 5 and SW user's manual for details
about usin of the SW.
SETTING MODE (OFF-LINE)
The off line mode is intended for testin and
settin purpose only in order to semplify settin s
and advanced operations (for expert operators
or technical)
With this modality commands are transmitted by
means of a keyboard connect to the rear panel
DIN connector. This modality permits to expert
operators to modify the setup parameters of the
machine (Annex A) and to make pre-defined
jobs (CARD TEST) in order to verify the correctness
of settin s and the functionality. Refers to Annex
A for details.
UPGRADE FIRMWARE
A service port placed on the rear panel permits
by few simply operations to up rade the FW of
the machine in each moment. Refers to Annex B
to see how to up rade the firmware.
