SAFETY NOTICES
The printer is provided with a “EC Declaration of conformity” according to the "Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC" which includes the reference standards for "Electromagnetic Compatibility" and
"Electrical Safety":
1. Do not start up the machine without first reading and implementing the prescriptions of the
“USER MANUAL” and the present “SAFETY NOTICES”.
2. The printing unit is equipped with a removable front cover [RM1] for changing the thermal
ribbon, monitored by sensors [SENS_C1] and [SENS4] which switch off the power supply to
the motors when the cover is open.
3. The printer must not be used in an explosive environment or be used to treat explosive
materials.
4. The printer must not be used in irregular situations such as working without guards being
correctly fitted to the machine; working with products other than those prescribed.
5. After 7 years of operation on an 8-hour daily shift, a complete overhaul of the product is
recommended.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Be careful when moving or carrying the printer. Wear safety shoes when installing or removing
the printer from the packaging machine: dropping the printer may cause injury or property
damage. The machine must NOT be used by the lid or the handle (See the "LIFTING AND
TRANSPORT" Chapter of the Technical Manual RT824).
2. Do not open the printer during printing.

Information
DANGEROUS AREAS ON THE PRINTING UNIT
Dangerous areas - front and bottom view
Note:
if in intermittent mode, during the installation it is necessary to fix the
printing plate and the printing unit so that the plate prevents finger access
to the areas [A] and [B] where the carriage with the print head moves.
if in continuous mode, the zones [A] and [B] are potentially dangerous zones
during the movement of the carriage to search for the position of the
printing roller, which occurs exclusively at the start and after the release of
an anomaly. The carriage does not move during the normal print cycle.
