Installation
Install and wire this product in accordance with applicable national and
local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
For detailed assembly, setup, and test instructions not provided here
refer to the printer manufacturer’s documentation.
WARNING:
Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death
from electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow stored
energy to discharge before installing or removing equipment.
Cautions
• Do not plug the printer into a power outlet until after all packing
materials have been removed and the printer has been
assembled.
• Be sure the voltage rating of the power outlet matches the power
requirements of the printer.
• To avoid print-head damage and paper jams, set the head gap as
instructed in the manufacturer’s documentation.
Notes
• Perform a printer self-test by loading paper and holding down the
Line Feed button while turning on printer power.
• If the printer is required to operate during brownout conditions and
AC power failures, install a UL Listed (UTRZ) uninterruptible power
supply that can maintain printer operating voltage for at least
24 hours.
• For ULC applications in which a UPS is used as the emergency
power supply, install the printer and the UPS in a lockable
enclosure in accordance with CAN/ULC-S527.
• Install the DTK-DL120/240 surge protective device shipped with
the printer onto the circuit supplying AC power to the printer.
Follow the SPD manufacturer’s installation instructions.
• Use the 25-pin serial connection or the USB connection, but not
both.
• Serial/USB printer connections are power-limited and may or not
be supervised depending on configuration.
• Locate supervised serial/USB printers in the same room as the
equipment to which they connect.
• Locate unsupervised serial/USB printers in the same room and
within 20 ft. (6.1 m) of the equipment to which they connect.
Enclose wiring in conduit or equivalent protection against
mechanical injury.
• Connecting a serial/USB printer may cause a ground fault on some
control units. If this happens, install an IOP3-A isolator module
between the printer and the control unit.
To connect using serial cable connections:
1. Connect the DB-25 connector end of the cable to the serial port on
the back of the printer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the control unit’s serial
printer port or to the option card printer port as specified in the
control unit’s technical manual.
To connect using USB cable connections:
1. Connect the USB 2.0, type A host port connector end of the cable
to the USB port on the printer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the control unit’s USB 2.0
type B device port or to the option card USB 2.0 type B device port
as specified in the control unit’s technical manual.
