Read these notes together with Chapter “Safety notices" to ensure that the printer is used correctly.
Switching on the printer.
•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 it where there is a lot of oil, iron particles, or dust.
Disposal

within this area contains instructions for preventing damage.
➔
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 two covers: the first [RM1] is removable while the second
[RM2] can be opened by rotating it on two hinges. The removable cover [RM1] is monitored
by two sensors [SENS_C1] and [SENS4] which switch off the power supply to the motors when
the cover is open. The presence of a mechanical interlock [IB1] does not allow you to open
the cover [RM2] without first removing the cover [RM1] and it does not allow you to insert
and close the cover [RM1] before closing the cover [RM2]. To prevent finger access in the
carriage [C1/C2] movement area [A/B], the XTO print unit and the print plate must always be
aligned with each other.
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 RT806).
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] (Figure 2-Figure 4) 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 intermittent 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 packaging film must be stationary during printing.
The XTO intermittent codes the different production batches with variable text, barcodes and logos
extremely flexibly, ensuring high quality and fast printing.
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.
With the XTO22i.nn model, with double carriage, it is possible to halve the printing time and
considerably increase the operating speed. It is also possible to manage and print different print
formats and texts for each of the two printheads.
PECULIARITY
•Print Unit very light and compact, easy to be installed.
•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 head and 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.

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
electrovalves, to avoid noises and spikes.

Product DESCRIPTION
53SDK21 Touch panel
It is a 7 "TFT color 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 25: 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.
