Safety Regulations for the Laser Printer PP 2024 Electromagnetic Compatibility

The laser printer PP 2024 fulfils the safety regulations according to IEC and Type: Printer PP 2024

TÜV/GS for computer systems (EN 60950) and laser products (EN 60825-1).

UL 1950 3rd Edition / CAN/CSA C22.2 No 950-95; 21 CFR 1040.10 and corresponds to the law regulations ruling electromagnetic compatibility of

1040.11. appliances (89/336/EWG) and, therefore, fulfils the requirements for conformity

The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The

selected voltage of the printer needs to be in accordance with the local mains

voltage.

The power plug must be easily accessible at any time so that it can be

disconnected immediately in case of danger or for maintenance purposes.

Before installing the printer, check the surrounding conditions in which the

printer is intended to be used (see next page, Operating Environment).

During thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any

data transfer cable.

The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel.

Repairs and maintenance beyond the descriptions of chapter 5 may only be

attempted by authorized personnel as well. Repairs done inappropriately may

cause damage to the device and severe danger for the user.

Caution: The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation

exposure.

During the printing process ozone will be produced. Take care that

the printer is standing in a room with good ventilation. The limt of

ozone concentration should be 0,1 ppm (0,2 mg/m). Note that the

specific gravity of ozone is higher than that of air.

We certify that the equipment at issue,

marking with the CE-sign.

Note: This equipment has bee tested and found to comply with the limits for a

CLASS A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference in wich case the user will be required

to correct the interference at his own expense.

To guarantee that the device stays within the limits according to the approval

regulations for conducted and radiated emission (EN 55022, Class B) and

immunity according to EN 50081-1, Generic Standard in any case shielded

interface cables are to be used only.

Changes and modifications not explicitly allowed by the equipment's

manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Operating Environment

Avoid installing the printer where it is exposed to moisture or heat (eg. direct sun

light).

-Temperature: + 10EC to + 32.5EC (+50EF to +90.5EF)

-Humidity: 20% to 80%

Slots and openings in the printer's housing are provided for ventilation. Always

ensure that these openings are not obstructed.

Also ensure that the cables at the rear of the printer do not interfere with the

output paper path.

Safety Regulations for the intelligent Paper Stacker iPS 2024

The intelligent Paper Stacker iPS 2024 fulfils the safety regulations according

to IEC and VDE/GS for computer systems (EN 60950);

UL 1950 3rd Edition, CAN/CSA C22.2 No.950-95.

The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The

selected voltage of the intelligent paper stacker needs to be in accordance with

the local mains voltage.

The power plug must be easily accessible at any time so that it can be

disconnected immediately in case of danger or for maintenance purposes.

Before installing the intelligent paper stacker, check the surrounding conditions

in which the intelligent paper stacker is intended to be used (see next page,

Operating Environment).

During thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any

power cable.

The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel.

Repairs may only be attempted by authorized personnel as well. Repairs done

inappropriately may cause damage to the device and severe danger for the

user.

Caution, the chain of the motor to move the paper exit tray

up and down will start automatically or after pushing the

key at the left side of the table.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

We certify that the equipment at issue,

Type: intelligent Paper Stacker iPS 2024

corresponds to the law regulations ruling electromagnetic compatibility of

appliances (89/336/EWG) and, therefore, fulfils the requirements for conformity

marking with the CE-sign.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

CLASS A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interface cables are to be used only.

Changes and modifications not explicitly allowed by the equipment's

manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

The intelligent Paper Stacker can only be used in conjunction with the printer

PP 2024.

Operating Environment

Avoid installing the intelligent paper stacker where it is exposed to moisture or

heat (e.g. direct sun light).

-Temperature: + 10EC to + 32.5EC (+50EF to +90.5EF)

-Humidity: 20% to 80%

Also ensure that the cables at the rear of the printer do not interfere with the

output paper path. The feet of the laser printer PP 2024 should be positioned

over the four screws on the stacker's table.

Preface

About this Manual

This manual covers the printer including the Control Unit. The Control Unit is an

integral part of the printer which determines the functionality of the printer

especially regarding the user and system interface. Due to the variety of Control

Units different printer models are defined which, with respect to the user

interface however, all behave the same.

The structure of this manual is such that the operator is led step-by-step through

the various procedures. Starting with unpacking and installation of the

consumables it moves on to setting-up configuration parameters and ends with

the mounting of options.

The manual is divided into the following chapters:

1. Getting Started

This chapter covers the unpacking and setting-up of the printer and the

installation of the consumables. By the end of this chapter the printer should

be fully functional and tested in its primary form. It is not yet connected to

the host computer system and no options are mounted.

2. Operating the Printer

This chapter discusses in great detail the operation of the operator panel, all

menu functions, and the general operation of the menu. General status

messages are also described.

3. Configuring the Printer

This chapter explains how to use the Profiles and to configure the printer so

that it can communicate with the corresponding system environment.

Furtheron this chapter includes a view of the Menu Structure and thoroughly

describes in a short form the printer's operating controls. Finally you will find

a description of the Configuration Programs Profiler and Profile Selector .

The Profiler is a menu controlled program and supports the printer

configuration via PC. Different configurations can be downloaded into the

printer.

Profile Selector is a program for quick access to a profile.

Filling in Starter Toner

Before using the Developer Unit for the first time, you have to fill it with Starter

Toner. One bottle of Starter Toner (8) with a spout (9) is in the box of the

Developer Unit. Shake the bottle several times to mix the carrier and the toner.

Carefully open the seal underneath the cap of the toner bottle and attach the

spout to the bottle. Open the top cover (28) of the Developer Unit. Spread the

toner evenly across the opening.

Note: Do not squeeze the toner bottle since the toner could be blown out of the

hopper and contaminate the printer. If the toner bottle does not completely

empty, gently tap the end of the bottle while holding it upside down over

the hopper.

This first filling only allows Starter Toner to be used. Refilling any other toner is

not allowed before the message "Toner Low" appears on the display.
