Introduction
ELCOM company wishes to thank you for the purchase of the Euro-200TE. Please read the instructions to become
familiar with its functions and operations before you start to operate this equipment. Keep this manual for future use.
It will help you solve most problems encountered in operating the Euro-200TE.
IMPORTANT
• Do not leave appliance unattended.
• Install the cash register in a place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, unusual temperature
changes (under 0°C and above 45°C) or high humidity. Installation in such places could result in da-
mage to both the casing and electrical components.
• Before first use leave the cash register turned on connected to external charger for at least eight hours
to charge the internal accumulator.
• It is strongly recommended to start battery charging after battery discharge signal to ensure long ope-
rating life and preservation of battery capacity.
• During the cash register battery recharging, the cover can increase its temperature. We do not recom-
mend to place the cash register near flammable materials.
• After transporting the unit from a cold environment to a warm one and reversal, do not turn the cash
register on for a minimum of 20 minutes in order to give all components time to adjust to the new tem-
perature conditions.
• Person having wet hands should not operate the cash register. Water could seep into the interior of the
Euro-200TE and cause component failure.
• Clean the cash register with a dry, soft cloth. Never use cleaning agents such as petrol or solvents.
Using such chemicals can result in discolouration or deterioration of covering.
• Avoid spilling of any liquids on the cash register as it may cause damage. The keyboard should be pro-
tected extra carefully.
• Connect the cash register with the supplied adapter into a standard network plug (230V ± 10%). Other
electrical equipment connected in the same network circuit may cause improper functioning of the
cash register. In an environment with strong interference use the special anti-interference equipments
recommended by the manufacturer of the cash register.
Warning: adapter is only for interior use!
• If the cash register malfunctions, contact your authorised dealer for service. Do not try to repair the re-
gister yourself. Do not open the cash register!
• Unplug the AC/DC adapter from its electrical outlet if the device is to be fully disconnected.
• If the external adapter is connected to the cash register, the internal accumulator is charged even when
the cash register is turned off.
• If the red streak appears at the end of the paper ribbon, exchange this ribbon as soon as possible. If
the ribbon is exchanged too late, it can damage the printer, or decrease its lifetime.
• Use the paper ribbon, whose end is not glued. If such paper ribbon is used and not exchanged early
enough, the printer could be damaged or its lifetime could be shortened. In this case, the damaged
printer warranty is not valid.
• Use only high-quality thermal paper ribbons. Improper ribbons may damage the printer or shorten its
lifetime. When using suitable ribbons and by properly maintaining the printer, the average lifetime is up
to 25 million printed lines!
• Journal paper storage recommendations: Do not expose thermal paper to the sun light. Store at a tem-
perature not higher than 40°C. Avoid contact with PVC, mollificators, organic solvents or glue. It is im-
portant to use only paper ribbons, where manufacturer warrants all needed characteristics. In case of
storage recommendations break or using low-class paper ribbons, Elcom company cannot guarantee
printing quality and paper ribbons storage.
• Use only the supplied AC/DC adapter or a adapter recommended by an authorised dealer for electrical
connection. Using other adapter types may result in damage to the adapter or the cash register.
• Use only the program recommended by your authorised dealer and use only the original interconnecting
cable for cash register communication with a computer. For bar code scanners, use only the connection
recommended in these instructions.
