2.1. General Information
Hengstler GmbH accepts no liability for the safe operation of the XPM 200HR™ 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 and/or
controller and/or related subassemblies (such as presenters, dual-feed units,
bundlers, paper roll holders, chassis’, etc.), HENGSTLER accepts no liability and the
guarantee shall be void.
Printing without paper can result in damage to the platen or thermal printhead.
Never use paper that might contain staples, paper clips or other metal objects.
If the printer will be stored, or will not print, for a long period of time, it is important
that a length of thermal paper be kept between the thermal printhead and the platen.
Unapproved types of thermal paper may dramatically reduce the life of the printhead
and may void the warranty. For pre-printed thermal paper make sure that only
appropriate inks are used. Detailed can be found in the Hengstler Paper
Specifications document D 690 xxx.
The DC power connector must not be connected 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 high-frequency devices or strong
magnetic fields in order to prevent magnetic interference.
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.
