1 • Introduction
Personal Safety
Follow these precautions for your own safety:
• Treat every circuit like a gun that may be loaded. It may not be “live,” but be
sure. Check with a neon tester or voltmeter, or simply unplug the machine.
• Know how to turn off power in the work area and get help in an emergency.
• Don’t underestimate the danger of shock: 1 mA (1/1000 amp) is uncom-
fortable; 5 mA is dangerous —you may jump back and be injured; 12 mA
causes hand muscles to contract, so you cannot free yourself; 24 mA has
proven fatal; and 100 mA (1/10 amp) is likely to be fatal.
Familiarize yourself with proper procedures and methods before you install,
operate or repair the equipment to avoid personal injury or damage to the
equipment. If you train service people or equipment operators, it is important to
explain safety precautions to your students and encourage safety awareness.
1.4 Safety Warning messages appear throughout this manual to alert you to potentially
hazardous conditions. Two designations indicate their relative seriousness:
WARNING! Calls attention to improper practices that
could result in a potentially serious, even lethal injury to
you or the customer.
CAUTION! Calls attention to practices that could
cause minor injury to you or a customer or that could
damage equipment or material.

Introduction • 1
Personal Safety (continued)
• Don’t work on equipment under power unless it’s absolutely necessary.
If you must, use extreme caution. Don’t grasp two sides of a live circuit
at the same time—use one hand when reaching into a circuit, touching
a grounded case or chassis with that wrist or elbow if possible. This pre-
vents current from passing through vital organs. Observe this rule when
connecting or disconnecting plugs or leads, or making any adjustments
on a live circuit.
• Use the right tools for the job. A tool which slips can cause a short—or a
shock. Don’t reach into a circuit with metal tools, or while wearing rings or
a watch. Even in low voltage circuits, a metal object can short circuit two
terminals. When working on live circuits, use tools with insulated handles
and try to keep your tool hand grounded.
• Don’t bypass safety devices, particularly fuses. Three-wire outlets (120
Vac) are designed to ground equipment to make it safe. If a hot wire
shorts to a grounded frame, the only result is an open fuse. If a hot wire
shorts to an ungrounded frame, the frame itself becomes hot and poten-
tially dangerous. A fuse is a weak link in a circuit, designed to break down
before anything else does. The maximum safe current in a circuit is de-
termined by the designers. Too large a fuse can pass excessive current,
damaging expensive equipment.
• For electrical fires, use Type C, BC or ABC extinguishers only. Don’t use
soda acid or other liquid stream extinguishers. They will damage elec-
trical equipment and present a shock hazard to the user.
• Digital equipment can be easily damaged or destroyed by static charges.
Microprocessors and other integrated circuits contain tiny transistors not
much more than a millionth of an inch across, which operate at 5 to 12
volts.
• Be extremely careful when lifting heavy equipment. Follow the guidelines
below:
a. Squat to lift and lower. DO NOT bend at the waist.
b. Keep your low back bowed in while bending over.
c. Keep the weight as close to you as possible.
d. Bow your back in and raise up with your head first.
e. If you must turn, turn with your feet, not your body.
f. Never jerk or twist!
g. Put the weight down by keeping your low back bowed in.
h. Keep your feet apart, staggered if possible.
i. Wear shoes with non-slip soles.
j. Get help if you need it.
1.4 Safety

1-4 DA80F/DA95F AddressRight™ Printers Service Manual (SV61962 Rev. A)
1 • Introduction
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Procedures
Follow these guidelines to protect sensitive equipment from static damage:
• Always use a wrist grounding strap and anti-static mat when working on
equipment sensitive to electrostatic discharge. These items are furnished
in the ESD Field Service Kit, L-8351.
• Ground yourself before reaching into the equipment, or touching any
circuit board or other electrical component. Just touching a doorknob or
metal workbench may be enough, but the best guarantee is to turn the
machine off but leave it plugged in, and ground yourself on the chassis,
which is grounded through the three-wire power cord.
• Be careful of rugs—even a few steps can recharge you. Re-ground your-
self whenever you’ve walked away and returned to the machine. Rugs
are a major source of static buildup in the body.
• Take greater precautions as the objects you handle get smaller. A board
in the machine is better protected than one that is not plugged in; a chip
on a board is better protected than one in your hand.
• Stay away from metal conductors. The plastic and resin that chips and
boards are made of are much better insulators than metal. It’s most im-
portant to keep your hands away from any metal which contacts the data.
In particular, this means the long connector along the bottom of each
board, and the pins coming out of the chips. These signal and data lines
are directly connected to the fragile inner circuits of the chips. When han-
dling a board, try not to touch the connector; when handling a chip, try
not to touch the pins.

Barcode Printing Types Position
All the printers in the DA Series can print the following barcodes:
1-Dimensional
• USPS Certified POSTNET barcode. All types of barcodes can be print-
able including FIM, 3 of 9, 4 state barcode (USPS, UK, Canadian, Euro,
Australia, etc.) and others.
• Planet barcode for delivery confirmation services.
• The printer is also capable of printing any barcode rendered by a Win-
dows® True Type font.
2-Dimensional
The printers are capable of printing a USPS Certified IBIP barcode as well as
all types of 2-D barcodes defined for the UK, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc.,
and others to the defined standards. Reference applicable Postal Standards.
NOTE: Do not attempt to print "high density" barcodes. The narrow elements
should not be less than 0.010" (.254mm).
Special Note on FIM Barcode
FIM (Face Identification Marking) barcode was developed by the USPS as
part of their POSTNET barcoding system. It is normally used by high-volume
mailers to put on return envelopes for their customers’ invoices.
When the invoices are mailed back in their return envelope, the USPS sorts
and processes this mail according to what version of FIM barcode is used on
the envelope: FIM A (Postage required, POSTNET bar code included), FIM
C (Postage prepaid, POSTNET bar code included), and FIM D (Postage re-
quired, POSTNET bar code not included).
One of the requirements of the FIM barcode is that it needs to be printed on
the edge of the envelope (typically printed in the top right corner). Any at-
tempt to print to the exact edge of the envelope is liable to "miss" the edge
occasionally. Because of these issues, we cannot guarantee full USPS
compliance for printing FIM barcode. As a result, some of our high-volume
customers used pre-printed envelopes containing the FIM barcode that meet
USPS printing specifications.
However, if you want to try printing the FIM using our printers, the Pitney
Bowes Envelope Designer Plus software allows you to place a FIM graphic
on the envelope. You can obtain photo-ready graphics directly from the
USPS (the Envelope Designer software itself can not create the FIM barcode
graphic).

Envelopes may have either a diagonal or straight edge along the enve-
lope flap. Envelopes may have either a diagonal or straight edge along
the envelope flap. Stuffing materials must be machine folded (C, Z, or 1/2
folded) or cut sheets.
• Booklets are defined as media having physical dimensions 6" x 9”
(152mm x 229mm) or larger. Booklets have an opening along their long
edge which is covered by a flap with an adhesive seal.
• Catalog Envelopes have an opening along their short edge which is
closed by a flap with an adhesive seal. A catalog may consist of multiple
pages bound by adhesive or tabs on the feed edge or at 90 degrees with
respect to the feed edge. Material that is too stiff will cause feed prob-
lems.
• Postcards have no folds or bends. The printable side may have a higher
surface roughness than the non-printable side.
• Self-mailers may be of “C,” “Z,” or half-folded construction. They may not
exceed the maximum allowable thickness as specified on the previous
page and must be tabbed per postal regulations. Half-folds and tri-folds
must be machine produced.
• A catalog may consist of multiple pages bound by adhesive or tabs on
the feed edge or at 90 degrees with respect to the feed edge.
• Sheet stock may consist of 20 to 28 lb. (75 to 105g/m2) bond as well as
60 to 80 lb. (220 to 300g/m2) coated stock. The size and thickness con-
straints specified above apply.
Approved Media
• Envelopes normally have a flap along the long edge and are processed
by the printer non-flap edge first (see illustration)

Unapproved Material
• Contaminants – material with visible material loss (loose powder, ink, sur-
face glaze, etc.) when hung free over a clean surface and struck sharply
with a standard wood ruler.
• NCR paper
• Special Materials – materials that are sensitive to heat such as thermal
papers, any pressure-sensitive materials, and materials that are sensitive
to minor magnetic fields.
• Excessively Glossy Paper – this is material whose surface frictions falls
outside the guidelines given here (and in chart below).
- Material shall not slide when placed on a 18% slope (10.2 degrees).
- Envelopes shall not slide when placed on a 33% slope (18.2 degrees).
- Material shall slide when placed on a 70% slope (35 degrees).
To test material for proper surface friction (a clipboard is ideal for this test):
1. Secure bottom piece to slope and place ten pieces on top of the bot-
tom piece. Material shall be tested with short edge leading.
2. Raise the clipboard until any portion of the stack begins to slide. The
height to length ratio of the clipboard is the % slope. .
