Safety Regulations Electromagnetic Compatibility
The printer PP 405 fulfils the safety regulations according to UL 1950 and
VDE (IEC 950) and CNA/CSA C22.2 / No. 950 for computer systems.
The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The
selected voltage of the printer needs to agree with the local 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..
Comme le câble de secteur sert de dipositif d'arrêt-urgence, sa connexion à
l'imprimante doit être tout le temps accessible.
Before installing the printer, check the surrounding conditions in which the
printer will be placed (see next page, Operating Environment and chapter 1).
During a thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any
data transfer cables.
The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel.
Repairs and maintenance beyond the descriptions of chapter 4 Maintenance
may only be attempted by authorized personnel as well. Repairs done
inappropriately may cause damage and severe danger for the user.
There is a warning symbol to draw the user's attention to possible injuries:
This symbol is visible when the top cover has been
opened. It indicates that the print head is extremely
hot after long periods of printing.
Ce signal de danger se présente quand le cache
supérieur de l’imprimante soit retiré pour indiquer
que la tête d’impression peut être extrèmement
chaude après imprimer très longtemps.
We certify that the equipment at issue,
Type: Printer PP 405
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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the in-
struction manual, may cause interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, it can be determined by turning the equipment off and on.
The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
SReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
SIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
SConnect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from the circuit
to which the receiver is connected.
SConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interface cables should be used with this unit to ensure compliance
with Class B limits.
Changes and modifications not explicitly allowed by the equipment's
manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Changes et modifications pas expressément approuvés par le producteur
peuvent dévaluer l'autorité d'opérer l'équipement.

Safety Regulations

Operating Environment
Avoid installing the printer where it is exposed to moisture or heat (eg. direct sun
light).
STemperature: + 10EC to + 35EC (+50EF to +95EF)
SHumidity: 20% to 80%
SHumidity with Automatic
Sheet Feeder (ASF): 30% to 70%
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.
When processing fanfold paper always place the printer with its front edge
slightly off the edge of the table.

1.2 Installing the Personality Module 1.3 The Power Supply
The printer functions only in combination with an installed interface module, Mains Voltage Selection
called a Personality Module (PM). In general, the mains voltage selection is determined at factory site.
The illustration below shows the standard PM with a serial and parallel interface. Since an incorrect voltage selection can seriously damage the printer, please
For detailed information about your PM, see Chapter 2. pay special attention to the following:

Connect the printer to the mains using the power cord (6). First connect the
cable to the power cord socket and then to the mains.
Note: As the power cord serves as a safety cut-off, its connection to the printer
must be accessible any time.

1.4 Power ON/OFF Switch
The power ON/OFF switch (1) turns the printer's power supply ON or OFF.
When switched ON the printer performs an internal self-test which checks the
electronics, the print head carriage movement and the interface. Power ON is
indicated by a green LED on the operator panel and shows TEST.... .
If the message INSTALL RIBBON is shown, follow the steps in chapter 1.5
Installing the Black Ribbon Cassette.
After inserting the ribbon press to continue. When the internal test has been
completed successfully the display shows READY 4 ELQ or BUSY 4 ELQ in
case data has already been transmitted.
Note: If the display shows anything different please refer to chapter 5
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.
1.5 Installing the Black Ribbon Cassette
Note: Information about installing the 4-colour-ribbon cassette you will find in
chapter 6 Colour option.
It is recommended to use only original ribbon cassettes (part numbers in
Appendix H) put out by our company. Using other ribbons will void your war-
ranty.
Caution: Never manually move the print head fully to the right hand stop (you
could change the way of the paper output).
Note: If the printer is busy (message BUSY 4 ELQ) always press
before opening the top cover.
1. Switch the printer ON at the power switch; Power LED is lit and wait for the
message READY 4 ELQ or INSTALL RIBBON.
2. If the printer is busy (message BUSY 4 ELQ) press .
3. Lift the top cover to gain access to the ribbon cassette mountings. The print
head will move to the correct position, aligned with the cut-out in the paper
guide plate to facilitate the installation of the ribbon cassette.
4. Remove any excess slack by turning the green knob on the ribbon cassette
clockwise. Move the ribbon feed guide to the position indicated on the plastic
cover of the cassette.

Vordruckgestaltung für den allgemeinen Schrift-
verkehr, für das Bestell- und Rechnungswesen E i l t
Sehr geehrter Herr Dr. Grauert,
Sie können das Schreiben der Briefe, Bestellungen, Rechnungen usw.
sowie das Bearbeiten des Schriftguts rationalisieren, wenn die
Vordrucke Ihres Unternehmens den folgenden Normen entsprechen:
DIN 676 Geschäftsbrief; Vordrucke A4
DIN 677 -; Vordruck A5
DIN 679 Geschäftspostkarte; Vordrucke A6
DIN 4991 Vordrucke im Lieferantenverkehr; Rechnung
DIN 4992 -; Bestellung (Auftrag)
DIN 4993 -; Bestellungsannahme (Auftragsbestätigung)
DIN 4994 -; Lieferschein/Lieferanzeige
DIN 4998 Entwurfsblätter für Vordrucke
Diese Normen enthalten alle Einzelheiten für den sinnvollen und
zweckmäßigen Aufdruck. Wenn dazu bei der Beschriftung genormter
Vordrucke DIN 5008 'Regel für Maschinenschreiben' beachtet wird,
entstehen übersichtliche und werbewirksame Schriftstücke.
Die beifgefügten 6 Mustervordrucke zeigen, daß das Beachten der
Normen die künstlerische und werbewirksame Gestaltung der Vor-
drucke nicht ausschließt.
Da wir uns auf die Herstellung genormter Vordrucke spezialisiert
haben, können wir besonders billig liefern. Eine Probestellung
wird Sie und Ihre Geschäftsfreunde von den Vorteilen überzeugen.
Mit bester Empfehlung

automatically. If the parallel or serial parameters need to be changed, see
Chapter 2, Menu Mode, and Appendix A, Interface Description.
