8.5  Connecting the direct print module 

The direct print module is equipped with a versatile power supply unit. 
The device may be operated with a mains voltage of 110-230 V / 
50-60 Hz without any adjustments or modifications. 

 

CAUTION! 

The direct print module can be damaged by undefined 
switch-on currents. 

 

Set de power switch to '0' before plugging in the direct 
print module. 

 

Insert plug of power cable into a grounded electrical outlet. 

 

 

 

NOTICE! 

Insufficient or missing grounding can cause faults during 
operation. 

Ensure that all computers and connection cables connected to 
the direct print module are grounded. 

 

 

Connect direct print module to computer or network with a 
suitable cable. 

  

8.6  Before initial operation 

 

Mount print mechanics. 

 

Connect all cables between print mechanics and control unit. 

 

Protect cables against unintentional unscrewing. 

 

Install compressed air connection. 

 

Connect control unit and PC by direct print module interface. 

 

Connect control unit and packaging machine by inputs and 
outputs. 

 

Connect power cable of control unit. 

 

 

Connecting to the
