Initial commissioning procedure
Check for any damages that may have
occurred during shipping while you un-

ponents are included in your delivery.

be damaged.
Take the following steps before setting up the
printer:
•
Setup the printer in a location that allows suffi-
cient room for inserting the ribbon and labels.
•
Be sure that the printer is adequately ventilated
and that it is not positioned in direct sunlight.
•
Do not operate the printer in a moist environment
or in the vicinity of corrosive chemicals.
•
Be sure not to exceed the maximum cable length
(this depends on the interface port used). Ensure
that all plugs are easy to access.
