1.0: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
The equipment described in this manual does not represent high risk of danger. However, it
is installed on a machine that can be dangerous:
 The equipment described in this manual is covered with fix panel (only opened with a tool) that
provide protection from electrical components and most of mechanical motions. However,
there is four (4) belts that can be exposed to the user. ALWAYS turn OFF the machine before
approaching hands from every motion part to remove a jam, service or clean the machine. Go
against this notice can result in a severe injury or death.
 The equipment described in this manual is designed and manufactured to the highest KLR
standards. Special attention made to ensure that the operation of the machine is safe and
convenient without compromising the efficiency. Keeps hands away from the working area of
the machine.
 Keep hands away from the working machine. Do not force through gaps or from the top.
 If the system is linked to another machine or install onto another machine. Lock the electrical
box of the other machines before performing any maintenance on this equipment. Please refer
to the local regulations and laws on locking out machinery. Go against this notice can result in
a severe injury or death.
 When working on the electrical components. Disconnect the equipment at the source and use
a lockout device to avoid any risk of danger. Make sure you also have the space required to
complete the work to avoid any risk of danger.
 Any modifications with any aspect of the mechanical, safety, electrical design, design, or any
parts connected with the equipment will void the warranty and liability of KLR Systems. If a
change is required, contact KLR Systems for approval. All technical handling must be done by a
qualified technician or by KLR Systems.
 KLR is not responsible for any abuse, mishandling, misuse, improper maintenance and repair
by owners and users.
 Equipment must be supervised when operating.

CAUTION
 Safety switches: DO NOT bypass any safety components for any reason. Violation will void all
warranties and responsibility from KLR Systems. If a safety component is broken, it must be
replaced before starting the machine.
 Safety panel (fix panel) or safety doors: As a safety, component does not try to remove or
unscrew them unless it is necessary for a maintenance operation. If it is the only option, use a
lockout device during this procedure and reassemble every single piece as it was when finished.
 When the machine is set to interlock mod, that means the KLR.950 run command and speed is
controlled by another equipment. Careful when handling the equipment because it may start
when you do not expect it. ALWAYS keep hand away from belts and mechanisms even when
the machine is stopped.

3.0: PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
3.1: Range of applications intended use and general functions
Used to print on clip, the inkjet printer KLR.937 is designed to be installed on the bag closer KLR.950. The
printer uses the interface of the KLR.950 to create convenient layout. These following values are in the
prototype version and are subject to change:
 Speed in excess of 60 packages a minute.
 Uses the convenient touch screen (HMI) of the bag closing machine.
 Uses an easy display to create many different layouts, can be fine tuned according to the user’s
needs.
 Made of stainless steel and anodize aluminum.
 Print automatically when loading the clips in the KLR.950 (if set in the parameters).
3.2: Dimensions (for transport)
Note: some parts are not assembled when the printer is sent alone.
Height: 5 inches
Length: 9.5 inches
Width: 5 inches
3.3: Specification for electricity

4.0: INSTALLATION
4.1: DC Power supply
CAUTION
 Electrification or electrocution hazard, only qualified
technician can perform these tasks.
When installing a KLR.937 ink jet printer, changing the power supply, or to troubleshoot a not
functioning ink jet printer. The power supply must be set to 28 volts rather than 24 volts. Follow these
instructions to set it properly:
Note: From KLR, the power supply setting will always be 28 volts regardless of what options on the
machine. But in fact, only the machine that uses an ink jet printer must be adjusted to 28 volts
1. Remove the back panel of the bag closing machine.
2. Turn ON the machine.
3. With a multimeter set to DC mod, probe the + and – from the output and use a terminal
screwdriver on the ADJUST screw.
4. Adjust the voltage until you reach 28 volts.
