Proper Disposal of WEEE
FOR COUNTRIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU)
The European Commission of the European Union has determined that electrical and electronic equipment on
the market today contain parts and components that may be properly reused or recycled to reduce quantities
of materials ultimately disposed in landfills and other disposal arenas. To address this determination, waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) should not be collected or disposed with unsorted waste from
private households or businesses. Rather, it must be collected separately. Offenders will be subjected to the
penalties and measures laid down by the law To that end, Panini products are appropriately marked with the
European Union WEEE Directive’s crossed-out dustbin symbol to indicate:
•the requirement for separate collection of electrical and electronic equipment put on the market
after August 13, 2005.
•Panini guarantees the activation of the treatment, collection, recycling and disposal
procedures in
accordance with the directive 2003/108/CE (and subsequent amendments).
To dispose of our devices correctly:
•Contact the Local Authorities, who will give you the practical information you need and the
instructions for handling the waste correctly, for example: location and times of the waste collection
centres,etc.
•When you purchase a new device of ours, give a used device similar to the one purchased to our
distributor for disposal.
FOR OTHER COUNTRIES (NOT IN THE EU)
The treatment, collection, recycling and disposal of electric and electronic devices will be carried out in
accordance with the laws in force in the country in question.

generation of check scanners. With a small footprint, sleek design and quiet operation, the Panini My
Vision X fits perfectly in a small area such as a teller window, or on the back counter of bank

technology available with the Panini My Vision X is comparable to the larger and faster reader sorter,
thanks to the Panini MICR PlusTM technology.Taking advantage of the most up to date technology, the
Panini My Vision X connects to computers viaUSB2.0 interface, allowing for fast data transfer at no
additional cost. A rear Ink-Jet endorser can also be found on the Panini My Vision X.The Panini Vision
API is standard on the My Vision X, guaranteeing easy and reliable software integration. Finally, the

3.2 Extension Plate Installation
The feeder extension is designed to support all documents anticipated to be processed by the My Vision
X. Markets or applications that process a large number of long documents (longer than 8 inches) may find
it necessary to apply the optional extension plate for better document support, reducing the risk of image
skewing, MICR rejects, etc. Assembly is made by sliding the extension plate, face side up, along the
bottom side of the feeder extension into the support notches until the plate snaps into place (Fig.8). The
lock tabs should securely fit into the round holes and the short and long tabs should be fully inserted into
the support notches (Fig.9).

3.3 Power Cable Connection
Before connecting the scanner to your PC, make sure to locate the unit on a flat surface near the PC,
away from direct light and from electromagnetic equipment.
1 Plug the power cord connector in the Power Supply socket (Fig.10).
2 Plug the Power Supply cable in the My Vision X power connector (Fig.11).

Warning: • The electromagnetic emission from a CRT monitor can produce interference and affect the
MICR reading; therefore place the My Vision X as far as possible from the CRT.
• Only use the power supply provided in the Panini My Vision X packaging. Using other power
supplies could damage the unit.
3. The My Vision X should be plugged into a dedicated electrical power outlet. The power supply will be
100-240 VAC (no power selection required), and the frequency 50/60 Hz. If you are not sure of the type
of power available, consult your Service Representative or local power company.
Note: There is no LED power indication upon connecting the My Vision X. LED status indicators only
illuminate when the application connects to the My Vision X unit. See section 4.1.
