PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all these instructions
• FIRE:
CAUTION:
Consult the safety data sheet for the ink to determine whether your printer uses
INFLAMMABLE inks and additives.
If this is the case:
– Place a foam, CO2or powder extinguisher close to the printer (maximum 10 metres).
– The printer must be kept in a well aired place away from sources of heat, flames or
sparks.
– Never leave ink, additive or cleaning solution cans or cloths soaked in ink near the
printer.
– Never smoke near the printer. Display a notice with "NO SMOKING,
INFLAMMABLE INK" close to the printer.
– Make sure to keep the printer very clean, as a dry ink deposit is highly inflammable.
– The ink, additive and cleaning solution cans must be closed and stored in a well
aired room.
• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
– The connection to the single phase electricity supply network must use a standard
3 pin plug with earth ; this plug must be easy to access.
– The earth connection must comply with applicable regulations.
• HEALTH:
– It is strictly forbidden to wear contact lenses when handling consumable products.
– It is recommended that ink-resistant gloves and safety goggles should be worm
during filling and cleaning operations.
Disconnect the printer from the mains power supply before any intervention.
IMAJE cannot be in any way held responsible should the above-mentioned rules not be
respected, and in general for the non-respect of elementary safety rules concerning the
utilization of these machines.
All modifications without written authorization from imaje are prohibited and
their possible consequences are the responsability of the person who performed
them.
The same applies for any use of the printer which does not comply with the
printer’s specifications.

1 Introduction
The printers in the Jaime 1000 Series 4 range are equipped with an asynchronous series, half
duplex, interface, for connection to a V24 mode, "Voltage levels" or "20mA loop" transmission
computer.
REMINDER "20mA loop" transmission affords good immunity against electric
and electromagnetic interference. It is therefore particularly
recommendedforlongdistanceconnectionsorin a highly parasitic
area.
ATTENTION A current loop adapter is required when"20 mA current loop"
transmission is used on the S4 Plus printers.
The RS232C (or V24) standard describes the signals available during a dialog between a DTE
(Data Terminal Equipment) and a DCE (Data Communication Equipment).
A maximum of 7 signals only are used for connection to an IMAJE printer of the Jaime 1000,
whether for "voltage level" or "loop" transmission.
NOTE The Jaime 1000 printers should be considered as DTE.
ATTENTION Do not use the keyboard to make any changes to the printer during
a V24 dialogue (risk of conflicts).
You are also recommended to leave the S4 Plus printers in the
"MAIN MENU" during a V24 dialogue.

3 Electricalspecifications
These are of V24, RS232C.
The input verification signals (DSR, CTS, RXD) are active when their voltage level is between
+ 3 V and + 12 V and inactive between - 3 V and - 12 V.
The output verification (DTR, RTS, TXD) are active at a voltage of 9 V and inactive at a voltage
of - 9 V.

5 Material configuration
5.1 Presentation of the terminal block of the Industrial Interface
To have access to the Industrial Interface card, unscrew the two fixing screws of its
compartment housing at the rear of the printer.
Pass the connecting cable through one of the grommets and fix the wires to the corresponding
terminals (see Figure 1).
NOTE The connecting cable shield used should be connected to the
periphery of the metallic stuffing box of the printer and the same
type of connection should be made on the computer.

5.2 Configuration of the jumpers on the Industrial Interface board
The jumpers on the Industrial Interface board allow configuration of the serial connection.
•RXD allows selection of the transmission mode
- Position 232: voltage levels transmission,
- Position 20 mA: loop transmission.
•SW1 used only in "loop" transmission
- Postion active: active transmission,
- Position passsive: passive transmission.
•SW2 used only in "loop" transmission
- Position active: active reception,
- Position passive: passive reception.
NOTE Ifthecomputerisconfiguredinactivetheprintermustbeconfigured
in passive on the corresponding line, and vice versa.
•CTS
- Position DSR: The printer will only transmit data if the computer gives instructions to send
(DSR active) (CTS linked to DSR).
- Position CTS: The printer will only transmit data if the computer activates the CTS.
- Position GND: The printer can transmit continually (CTS linked to 0 V).
- Position RTS: The printer can transmit continually (CTS linked to RTS).

5.3 Presentation of the different modes
• Slave:
In this mode the computer alone can initialize a dialog and instruct the printer to send.
• Complete dialog:
In this mode both the computer and printer can initialize a dialog.
There is a check of the printer transmission.
NOTE The printer dialogue is not permitted until after the start-up phase.
Ingeneral,controlbythecomputeroftheDTRsignalfromtheprinter
ensures that the latter is ready to dialog.

5.4.2 Slave. Loop transmission
NOTE The time between the appearance of the DSR signal (on the printer)
and the activation of the DTR may be as much as 100 ms. In slave
mode it is therefore necessary to take the response time into
account automatically and to allow for a minimum time of 100 ms
(see timing diagram, page 2-4).
REMINDER The printer dialogue is not permitted until after the start-up phase.
NOTE The value of 20 mA is preset in the factory.
