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. Dumping of
these devices at unequipped and unauthorized places may have hazardous effects on health and
environment. Offenders will be subjected to the penalties and measures laid down by the law.

electronic equipment put on the market after August 13, 2005, according to the WEEE directive
2002/96/EC (and subsequent amendments) and your national laws.
To dispose of our devices correctly:
Contact the Local Authorities or local distributor, 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.

3.2 Extension Plate Installation
The feeder extension is designed to support all documents anticipated to be processed by the 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. The lock tabs should
securely fit into the round holes and the short and long tabs should be fully inserted into the support notches.
To remove, firmly grip the feeder extension and the extension plate and pull apart.

3.3 Power Cable Connection
Before connecting the scanner to your PC, make sure to position 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.
2. Plug the Power Supply cable in the Vision X power connector.
Warning:
The electromagnetic emission from a CRT monitor can produce interference and affect the
MICR reading; therefore place the Vision X as far as possible from the CRT.
The Vision X will be in compliance to the standard IEC/EN 60950-1 and UL 60950-1 only using
the Power Supply model DSA-0421S-28 1 42 provided with the machine.
3. The Vision X should be plugged into a dedicated electrical power outlet. The socket outlet shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. 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 Vision X. LED status indicators only
illuminate when the application connects to the Vision X unit. See section 4.1.

OPERATOR MANUAL Page 18 Operating your Panini Vision X
3.4 USB Cable Connection
Connect the USB cable to the USB 2.0 port located on the rear
side of the scanner, and then connect the other end of the cable to
an available USB 2.0 port on the PC.
3.5 Ink-Jet Cartridge Installation (*Optional)
Remove the inner cover (see section 5.1 for details). Take a new Ink-Jet cartridge out from its package. Do
not touch the ink with your fingers or clothing: it will stain. Angle the front side of the cartridge downwards
and face the two pins with the two holes in the cradle. Gently push down the rear side of the cartridge until it
snaps in the plastic retainer.
* If the unit was purchased without the endorser option then the unit is shipped without an ink cartridge and that one is
not needed to run the device.
