➔Instructions must be followed without exception.
WARNING! The text within this area contains important recommendations as well as additional
information or information to use the product correctly and efficiently.
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

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.
3. When cleaning the surface of the printer case, do not use the cloth that is soaked in thinner,
trichloroethylene, benzine, ketone or similar chemicals.

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.

Information
Fixed guard but not solidly screwed to the Printing Unit (only for intermittent mode)
The Printing Plate [PP] cannot be strongly screwed to the Printing Unit [PU] because it is necessary
to leave the passage to the packaging film [PF] to be printed.
Note:
During the installation it is necessary to fix the printing plate [PP] and the
printing unit [PU] so that the plate prevents finger access to the areas [A]
and [B] (Figure 2) where the carriage with the print head moves.
On supports where there is an independent adjustment of the Printing Unit [PU] and the Printing
Plate [PP], it is always necessary to maintain a relative position between the two parts that prevents
access to dangerous areas. Also, to obtain a good print quality, the print head must be positioned
at a distance from the edge of the rubber layer, not less than 5 mm and that the Printing Plate [PP]
is always centred with respect to the Printing Unit [PU].

Product DESCRIPTION
Product Description
FUNCTIONALITY
The XTO XL series is an electronic printer for "thermal transfer to film" that is able to write
automatically and directly on the plastic or paper film used in packaging machines by means of an
inked thermal ribbon.
The XTOXLnie “intermittent” codes the different production batches with variable text, barcodes
and logos extremely flexibly, ensuring high quality and fast printing.
The packaging film must be stationary during printing.
XTOXLnce “continuous” prints synchronously with the speed of the packaging machine. Since the
movement speed of the film is not constant, it is necessary to mount the "encoder" device on the
printing roller which allows the synchronism between the printing speed and the speed of the
packaging film.
In stand-alone operation, the label files created with the EASYCODE program installed in a PC can
be loaded in the printer using the USB memory key.
PECULIARITY
•Interchangeable 4"/5"/6" printheads
•Quick and intuitive printhead change
•Does not use compressed air.
•Easy to service and repair; easy system of ribbon passage for changing operation.
•Programmable printing steps and format printing parameters loadable by the touch screen
display (optional) or the P.C. through the use of a browser (Chrome, Edge ...).
•Improve unit uptime: not necessary to uninstall the print unit from the line.
•Modular assembly: mechanic + electronic.
•Easy and fast replacement of electronic components (no interference with mechanical parts).
•HMI (Human-Machine Interface) user friendly.
•Simply ribbon changing operation.
•Simply print plate cleaning and replacing directly on board the printer.
•Printer management (parameters, labels, diagnostic etc..) with local EIDOS Touch panel or
remote PC with a Web Browser.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
•"Corner edge" print head with 12 dots/mm definition (300 DPI).
•Max speed printing on continuous model: 500 mm/s (feasibility check necessary).
•Max speed printing on intermittent model: 600 mm/s (feasibility check necessary).
•Power supply required: 48Vdc - 320W.
•Incorporated and optimized "Ribbon saving" function.
•Moving of the ribbon and the head carriage by means of two "step" motors.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
WARNING!* the 45CV914/1 cable is supplied 7 meters long, but during installation
it must be cut as short as possible, to avoid the error signalling (E207) when closing
the front cover. The cable must pass far from the cables that supply motors or electro
valves, to avoid noises and spikes.
Note: The I/O SIGNALS Junction Box 49KS0162 is not intended for Industrial use.

Product DESCRIPTION
53SDK21 Touch panel
It is a 7 "TFT colour graphic display with capacitive touch connected via ethernet to the printer, from
which it is also powered.
To fix the EIDOS Touch Panel to the packaging machine, a hole must be made, to be made as per
the drawing below. Fixing is ensured by means of an IP55 protection class sealing gasket. The EIDOS
Touch Panel is therefore also suitable for applications in humid or dusty environments.
Note: The maximum thickness of the plate on which the "EIDOS Touch Panel" can be applied is
4.5 mm
Figure 19: Touch Panel EIDOS 53SDK21
Drilling template
Place the panel, centring it within
the hole on the electrical cabinet of
the packaging machine, by
tightening the metal plate from the
inner side, by means of the screws
and the washers.
