1. Power Supply
The power is supplied via an AC adapter or four AA nickel-metal-
hydride (Ni-MH) batteries or alkaline batteries (LR6).
If both batteries and an AC adapter are set, power supply from the
AC adapter is given priority. (Batteries are not supplied.) Batteries
cannot be charged from the AC adapter, so use a dedicated battery
charger for battery charging.
If the voltage drops during battery use or if an AC adapter other than
the one that is provided is used, the power LED will blink to indicate
an anomaly.
1.1 Setting the batteries
Set the batteries. If using the AC adapter, refer to section 1.2.
<1> Open the battery compartment.
Press the battery compartment by pressing the lock release and
pull the compartment lid off.

SETUP
<2> Set the batteries.
Set four AA alkaline batteries (LR6) or nickel-metal-hydride (Ni-
MH AA) batteries in the battery compartment, making sure to
orient them correctly.
<3> Following the reverse procedure of that described in <1>, press
back the battery compartment lid into place until you hear a click.
I
MPORTANT Be sure to correctly orient the batteries.
Do not mix different types of batteries.
Use either size AA alkaline batteries (LR6) or size AA
nickel-metal-hydride (Ni-MH AA).
Do not use manganese batteries.
If alkaline batteries are used, printouts may look faint
due to the characteristics of such batteries.
When using alkaline batteries or Ni-MH batteries, the
printing speed may be slower compared to when the AC
adapter is used.
If batteries are used, any exfoliation or swelling of the
coating on battery terminals may cause bad contact or a
short circuit. Make sure that the batteries are free of
exfoliation and swelling before using them.
If the DP-1VR will not be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries from the battery compartment. If
the batteries are left inside the DP-1VR, battery leaks
may render the DP-1VR unusable.
Batteries can be used as the power supply when the
temperature is 10C or higher. At temperatures lower
than 10C, faint printouts and other problems may
occur.

SETUP
ADDENDA The DP-1VR does not have a charging function. Use a
dedicated charger for battery charging.
The battery life of the DP-1VR is approximately 10,000
lines (when printing in large size once every 5 s using
1600 mAh Ni-MH batteries).
The battery life greatly varies according to the customer's
use environment.

2. Setting the Printer Paper
<1>
Press down the release lever.
The printer paper cover rises, so open it.
<2>
Peel off the tape that holds the end of the printer paper in place, pull out a
little the edge of the printer paper, and set the printer paper.
When setting the printer paper, make sure that the printer paper core
securely fits in the printer paper folder.
Setting the printer paper in a slanted position, this may cause a paper jam
during printing, so be sure to set the printer paper so that it is in a straight
position.
Close the printer paper cover with the edge of the printer paper protruding a
little.
Switch on the power of the DP-1VR and press the [FEED] key to feed
forward approximately 100 mm (4 inches) of printer paper.

SETUP
When setting the printer paper, be careful not to cut your
hands with the paper cutter.
IMPORTANT Be sure to press the [FEED] button after setting the
printer paper. Pressing this button automatically aligns
the paper, reducing the likelihood of paper jams.
The printer head is exposed when the printer paper
cover is opened. The printer head is very hot
immediately after printing and may cause burns if
touched.
The printer paper for the DP-1VR is a special type of
paper with excellent durability, chemical resistance, and
weather resistance. Only use the Mitutoyo-specified
paper (Part No. 09EAA082, 10 rolls/set).
If the Mitutoyo-specified paper is not used, the quality
cannot be guaranteed.
The printer paper should be stored in a cool and dark
place.
CAUTION
3. Connection to Gage
Before connecting the DP-1VR to the digimatic gage, check that both are
switched off.
(1) Connecting the DP-1VR to digimatic gage
Connect one of the connectors of the connection cable to the input
connector of the DP-1VR, and connect the other connector to the
output connector of the digimatic gage. As the connection cable
varies according to the gage, refer to the user's manual of the gage
to be used.
Pay attention to the connector directions.
Insert and pull out the connectors in a straight
fashion.

1. Parameters
Parameters are functions for customizing the operation of the DP-1VR.
Set them according to the intended purpose.
Two types of parameters can be set for the measuring tool connected
to the DP-1VR. Select the parameter according to the measuring tool
that is connected.
2. When Connecting a Caliper or Micrometer
These parameters are set when connecting a caliper or micrometer to
the DP-1VR via the digimatic interface.
The parameter setting mode is entered by pressing the [POWER] key
while holding down the [DATA] key to start up the DP-1VR.
When the parameter mode has been entered, the parameters to be set
are printed out in sequence. To change a setting, press the [STAT] key.
