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 pratical 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.

1. General
Congratulations on your selection of the Panini My Vision X!
The Panini My Vision X is a new 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 branches.
The Panini My Vision X incorporates the latest, state-of-the-art technology and the latest standards for
check processing in the marketplace.
A unique, patent-pending 3-mode feeder can be found in the Panini My Vision X, allowing for single item
feeding, up to 30 items batch feeding with single hand insertion (in this case it is always possible to insert
documents with one hand only) or up to 100 items batch insertion by manually moving the pressure plate.
Options with limited feeder capacity are also available to cover specific customer needs.
MICR reading 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 via
USB2.0 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 Panini My Vision X has been designed specifically to allow for entire track accessibility,
including scanner area, for easy intervention and for maintenance purposes.

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).
To remove, firmly grip the feeder extension and the extension plate and pull apart.

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.
