1. Power supply
●Power is supplied to this unit by the AC adapter or four AA type Nickel Hydrogen
batteries (Ni-Mh)/Alkali batteries (LR6)
●When the AC adapter is used while batteries installed, the power will be supplied
from the AC adapter (batteries are not included). The AC adapter cannot charge the
batteries, charge them with a dedicated battery charger, if necessary.
●When a voltage drop occurs when using the battery or AC adapter, the power
source LED will blink and show an abnormal condition.
1.1 Setting the battery
Set the batteries. If using the AC adapter, refer to section 1.2

wSet the batteries.
Be sure to set correctly the poles of the size AAAlkali batteries (LR6) or Nickel
Hydrogen batteries (Ni -MH AA)
eClose the battery box by the inverse process of qfirmly until you hear the
clicking sound.
IMPORTANT
◆Set the poles of batteries correctly.
◆Do not use different kinds of batteries.
◆Use either size AAAlkali batteries (LR6) or AA Nickel Hydrogen batteries
(Ni-MH AA)
◆Manganese batteries R6 cannot be used.
◆When Alkali batteries are used, printed letters may fade accordingly.
◆When Alkali batteries or Nickel Hydrogen batteries are used, print speed is
slower compared with the AC adapter.
◆In the case of using batteries, if the surface shows peeling or breaks on the pole
of the battery, it may cause poor contact and start-up. Please use batteries only
after you check there is no peeling or surface breaks on the poles of batteries.
◆If DP-1VR is not used for a long period, please remove the batteries from DP-
1VR. If the batteries remain connected to the DP-1VR for long time, fluid
leakage may damage the DP-1VR.
◆The operational temperature of the batteries must remain over 10°C. If the
temperature is less than 10°C, undesirable things, such as printed letters
become thin, etc., may occur.

NOTE
◆DP-1VR has no charger function. If you need to charge the batteries, a
dedicated battery charger is needed.
◆Battery life is about 10,000 lines, (using 1,600 m Ah Ni-MH, and print large,
letter one time per 5 sec.)
◆Battery life varies drastically in accordance with environmental conditions.

OPEN
●Push the release lever downward
●Move the cover of recording paper upward, then open it.
w
●Peel tape fixing the edge of record paper, then set the recording paper with a little
bit of the paper pulled out.
●Set the core of the recording paper firmly in the holder. If the recording paper is
wrinkled, it can cause the paper to jam while printing, so be sure it is straight.
●Close the cover of the recording paper, pulling out the edge the recording paper a
little bit.
●Press the ‘power’ key to power ON and press the ‘FEED’ key, to send out the
recording paper about 100 mm.

SET UP
• Be careful to connect the connector correctly.
• Pull and put the connector in straight.
●When paper is set, be careful not to injure your hand by the paper cutter.
IMPORTANT
◆After setting the recording paper, be sure to press the ‘FEED’ key. This will
perform a self-alignment thereby reducing paper jamming.
◆When you open the recording paper cover, the printer head is exposed.
Immediately after printing, the printer head is hot. Do not touch to avoid being
burned.
◆DP-1VR recording paper has superior characteristic of conservation, tolerance
to chemicals and weather-proof. Please use the recording paper specified by
our company. (Part No. 09EAA082 10 roll pack)
◆Print quality is not guaranteed if the specified recording paper is not used.
◆Recording paper should be stored in a cool and dark place.
3. Connection of the measuring tool
Before connection, confirm that electric power to the digimatic measuring tool is OFF.
(1) Connection to the digimatic measuring tool.
Connect one connector of the connecting cable to DP-1VR input connector and the
other connector to the output connector of the digimatic measuring tool. Some con-
necting cables are different, depending on the type of measuring tool, please refer
to each user's manual.

1. Parameter
Parameter functions can customize the actions of the DP-IVR. Set up in accordance
with the purpose.
There are two kinds of parameter settings in accordance with connecting measuring
equipment to DP-1VR.
Select parameters in accordance with the measuring equipment used.
2. In the case of connecting calipers or micrometers
Parameters are established for digimatic interfaces such as calipers or micrometers
when connected to DP-1VR.
Start parameter setting mode by pushing the 'DATA' key and 'POWER' key simulta-
neously.
After parameter mode is started, parameters are printed in order. When you want to
change a setting, push the 'STAT' key and when you don't want to change a setting,
push the 'DATA' key; then the parameter will be set.
Next, a table of parameters is shown.

◆Set DP-1 for action mode.
NOTE
◆When entered into parameter input mode, limit data is cleared.
◆When parameters are cleared, they are set to default, except the date and time.
Date and time are reset to 2001/1/1, 0:0.
◆If a unit setting is selected, the unit set by this parameter is printed, regardless
of the unit of the input data. In this case the unit information of input data is
neglected.
3. Printout of a RS232C linearscale output
The following explains the parameter setting when the RS232C interface is attached
to the linear scale and printed by the DP-1VR.
To start parameter setting mode: Simultaneously press 'DATA' key and 'POWER' key.
After parameter mode is started, setting parameters are printed in order. When you
want to change a setting, press 'STAT' key and when you don't want to change the
setting, push 'DATA' key, then the parameter will be set.
Next, a table of parameters is shown.
