1.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRINTER
The NIPSON printer is a non impact printer which uses a magnetographic printing process.
It is a page printer accepting continuous fanfold paper.
The VaryPress 200 printer is available in 3 speed models.
1. VaryPress 200-30:
the speed can be set at a speed ranging between 30 and 90 m/min (by step of 1m/min) or speed
can vary automatically between 30 and 90 m/min.
2. VaryPress 200-20:
the speed can be set at a speed ranging between 30 and 70 m/min (by step of 1m/min) or speed
can vary automatically between 30 and 70 m/min.
3. VaryPress 200-10:
the speed can be set at a speed ranging between 30 and 50 m/min (by step of 1m/min) or speed
can vary automatically between 30 and 50 m/min.
The pinless printer accepts caroll pinfeed paper and pinless paper.
The S.E.D. printer is composed of a printer and a paper turning system.
The first side (recto) is printed on the first passage of the sheet, then the second side is printed
(verso) after the paper has passed under the printer and been turned and the paper width shifted
horizontally. The first side is placed on the operator side.
The T. E . D . p ri n t e r is composed of two printers. The first side (recto) is printed on theNipson
upstream printer, and the second side on the downstream printer after mechanical turning of the
paper.

1.3 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY REQUIREMENTS
The conditions described here correspond to the current printers which are delivered with graphite
drums.
the old versions of printers with CrC drums have different operating conditions, those are described in
§ 6.3.2.2 of the product manual.
-Temperature: 15ºC to 26ºC (optimum 20ºC),
-Relative humidity: 5% to 70% (optimum 45-50%).
-Absolute ambient humidity: 1 to 9 gH2O/Kgdry air
However maximal values of temperature and relative humidity must not be reached together (see
below).
-Atmospheric pressure must be between 562 and 780 mm Hg.
-Heat dissipation
The printer room must be able to remove heat generated by the printer.
CAUTION: Since the T.E.D. printer is composed of two standard printers, the heat given off
is double that of the standard machine.

1.4 AIR CONDITIONING
The air-conditioned room must be built according to current building standards and respect the
following points:
- Controlling and adjusting the temperature :
Temperature gradient should not exceed ± 4 ºC/h.
- Controlling and adjusting the relative humidity.
Relative humidity gradient should not exceed ± 8 %/h.
- Filtering the circulated air.
Signalling for conditions which are out of tolerance.
- Introduction of new air and evacuation of old air with rate determined according to the following
criteria:
-70m
3/h per printer at 60 m/min and 100 m3/h per printer at 90 m/min
or
-45m
3/h per person working in the room
or
- according to current legislation for the locality.
The maximum value from the three values determined above will be chosen as the minimum
air renewal rate required.
- The printer will be installed below an air outlet.

1.5 PAPER STORAGE
Toner is supplied in sealed containers which should be stored with cap upward.
Storage conditions
- Paper must not be removed from its original packaging.
- Isolate the cartons and rolls from the floor.
- To avoid a thermal shock, do not store the rolls and the cartons close to a heat source or
opened windows.
- The paper should be protected from physical shocks.
- The packaging must be opened only when the paper is to be used.
- Climatic conditions must be as close as possible to utilization conditions:
- temperature: 18 ºC to 30ºC,
- Humidity: 30 % to 70 % relative humidity.
Storage conditions outside these limits may be followed by a suitable stabilization period
before use.
- In case paper is stored in an area where the temperature is different from the printer room
temperature by more than 5ºC , it is necessary to respect minimum storage times for paper
brought into the printing room, according to the following table:
Difference of temperature Minimum stabilization
between paper storage time before use
room and printing room
6ºC to 12ºC 2 days
12ºC to 18ºC 3 days
18ºC to 22ºC 5 days
22ºC to 28ºC 7 days
The time required to eliminate a relative humidity difference in the paper depends on its
packaging and must be determined by measurements with hygrometric knife.
1.6 TONER STORAGE
Toner is supplied in sealed containers which should be stored with cap upward.
Storage conditions:
- Temperature: 18° to 30°C,
with a maximum temperature, even for short duration
(some hours), of 38º C.
- Relative humidity (RH): < 70 %.

1.7 CLEANING
1.7.1 Cleaning of the printer
The printer should be maintained and cleaned regularly to remove paper and toner particles which
may adhere to it.
For printer cleaning and toner box emptying, the customer must use a vacuum cleaner equipped
with an external absolute filter.
This vacuum cleaner can be ordered with the printer or be provided by the customer and placed at
the field engineer’s disposal during his intervention.
The main characteristics of the vacuum cleaner are:
- 100% main filter.
- Paper waste recovery bag with a capacity of 4-5 liters.
-Vacuum>
1.80 m column of water.
- Flexible hose with an external diameter of 32 mm.
Example: NILFISK vacuum cleaner (No. 3970-39).
It has the following accessories, which can be ordered separately under the following
references:
- Paper bag No. 815300.
- Absolute filter No. 115-650.
- Flexible hose No. 115-435.
1.7.2 Cleaning of the room - dust accumulation
It is recommended that the room of the machines and the associated systems answer the
specifications of the class ISO 8 of standard NF IN ISO 14644-1 relating to the cleanrooms
(corresponding about to the class 100 000 of the Federal Standard 209E).
The table below points out information of the classes concerned.
If this recommendation is not respected, that will generate adaptations of the frequencies and
maintenance actions.
The cleaning of the system room and the surrounding areas must be made daily with a particular
care, preferably when the printer is not active, with suitable hardware (for example
NILFISK vacuum cleaner (see above)).
A thorough cleaning under the raised floor and of the suspended ceiling should be planned to allow
clean passage of air and cables.
This should be done twice per year by professional cleaners.
Standard and class number Maximum permissible concentrations (particles/m3of air) in
particles of size equal or higher than that given below

1.8 SPECIFIC TOOL FOR INSTALLATION
To install the printer, the field engineer needs in addition with the standard tools (Allen wrenches,
screwdriver...):
- a pipe wrench of 22 mm
- a wrench of 27mm (flat type, open end)
- a wrench 1" 1/8 and 30 mm (No. 47291681-001)
