RECYCLING OF END-OF-LIFE PRODUCTS
The manufacture of the equipment that you have purchased required the extraction and use of natural resources. It may contain materials that are
hazardous to health and the environment.
To prevent the dispersal of such materials into our environment and reduce the pressure on our natural resources, we recommend that you use
existing collection systems. These systems will appropriately re-use or recycle most of the materials in your end-of-life equipment.
The crossed-out dustbin symbol on your device is a reminder to use these systems.
If you need further information on collection, re-use and recycling systems, contact your local or regional waste management body.

Under no circumstances should you connect the USB data cable before installation of the printer driver is complete.
To save energy, the printer will automatically switch itself to standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. The printer switches to
hibernation mode after 30 minutes in standby mode.
The standby times can be configured in the Evolis Print Center. In standard standby mode, sending a print request restarts the printer
and quickly pressing (for 1 second) on the button exits the printer from hibernation mode.
Before attempting any maintenance, ensure that the power cable is always unplugged. For your personal safety, ensure that the cable
and power supply unit remain easy to access, especially in the event of an emergency.
INSTALLATION

The printer automatically recognises the ribbon inserted.
Insert the ribbon as shown.
Ribbons
Evolis original High Trust®ribbons optimise your printer’s operation and avoid causing damage to it. The use of ribbons from other suppliers is liable
to damage your printer and voids the manufacturer’s warranty for the printer.
For optimum print quality, Evolis recommends that the printer is fully cleaned every time the ribbon is changed. See the Servicing and Maintenance
section of this manual.

Open the cover. Close the cover and press until a
click is heard.
