4.1. TS1700/TK18
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
There are some general considerations to take into account when installing the TS1700/TK18
printer.
A wrong installation may cause many issues like paper jam, difficult maintenance of the printer,
difficulty in changing the paper roll, etc. Moreover, a correct installation can prevent the printer from
being damaged by external agents, such as weather or vandalism.
This printer is designed to be installed vertically or horizontally in a case, closet, or another kind of
appropriate chassis.
The basic points that a correct installation must follow are:
•
Allow enough room and accessibility to reach the maintenance procedure points in case it is
needed. Take notice all user accessible parts in the printer.
•
Smooth exit of the ticket. Prevent problems with static electricity due to the nature of the
used materials. Be sure to make a good earth connection.
•
Since the printer is placed very close the user’s chassis, some system must be implemented
in order to move the printer when accessing the printing head (i.e. giving the fixing holes of
the chassis an oval shape to allow the printer moving forward and backward).
