General Information
Hengstler GmbH accepts no liability for the safe operation of the eXtendo® thermal printer family
unless Hengstler original products are used exclusively and the following instructions and
recommendations are heeded.
If unauthorized persons perform any repairs or modifications to the printer mechanism
and the controller, HENGSTLER will not accept any liability and the guarantee shall be
void.
Unapproved types of thermal paper may dramatically reduce the life of the print head and
may cause the guarantee to expire. For pre-printed thermal paper make sure that only
appropriate inks are used. Details can be found in the Hengstler Paper Specifications
document D 684 122.
The DC power connector must not be plugged in or disconnected under load in order to
avoid damage to the electrical components and the thermal printhead.
Avoid strong vibration, shock and impact since they may damage or destroy sensitive
electronic and mechanical components. Do not touch the surface of the printer control
board in order to prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive components.
This thermal printer must not be used near to high-frequency apparatus or strong
magnetic fields in order to prevent undefined magnetic disturbance.
Do not make any attempts to service this printer (e.g. change paper) while the printer is
printing.
Installing or uninstalling the printer must only be done while using adequate ESD protection.
