•If the printer has been left in a cold or excessively hot environment for a considerable time, wait
at least 1 hour before switching it on to prevent humidity collecting on the internal circuits.
•After switching off, wait for a few seconds before switching on the printer again.
Use in particularly places
If the printer is going to be used in particularly humid conditions (for example cheese factories) the
protection kits are necessary.
Do not use the printer where there is a lot of oil, iron particles, or dust.

as applicable throughout the EU. To return your used device, please use the return and
collection systems available to you.

Explanation of symbols
WARNING!
A warning symbol refers to risks that can result in severe or fatal injuries! The note
contains safety measures to protect affected persons.
The text within this area contains instructions for preventing damage,
recommendations as well as additional information.
SAFETY NOTICES
The printer is provided with a “EC Declaration of conformity” indicating electromagnetic
compatibility and electric safety according to the prescriptions of the “EC MACHINERY DIRECTIVE”
marking:
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 print unit is provided with a cover that encloses all the moving internal devices, thus
isolating them completely from access by the operator. If the release is opened to remove the
cover (for routine maintenance) the printing unit is positioned in “Manual” mode, i.e. in safety
conditions (all possible movement prevented).
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. Dropping the printer may cause injury or
property damage. The machine must NOT be used by the lid or the handle. For shipping by
sea or air, the parts must be packed in cases. For carriage by land, it is sufficient to package
the product in pluriball and cardboard boxes. If the machine is to be stored, the parts must
not be stacked.
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.
4. Do not spill liquids or spray insecticide on the printer.
5. When printer trouble occurs, do not try to dissemble it. Instead, consult our service personnel.

Information
Fixed guard but not solidly screwed to the Printing Unit:
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] 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 [RL], not less than 5 mm and that the Printing Plate
[PP] is always centered with respect to the Printing Unit [PU].
