2.3   Printer  Installation 

The C-56 printer uses electrically conductive housing materials which help to eliminate electrostatic charging 
during printing. In order to protect the printer from damages caused by externally applied charges, e.g. when 
electrostatically charged customers grab the receipt at the printer chute, the printer must be grounded.  
The mounting holes of the printer’s base unit can be utilized for this where a ground wire with lug may be 
inserted in one of the two screw points. 
If the printer is mounted in an electrically conductive and already grounded panel, additional wiring can be 
omitted if sufficient electrical contact is ensured through the mounting points. 

 

 

Caution: 

The C-56 printer mouting must ensure permanent electrical connection of the printer’s base unit to 
ground. This measure serves the draining of externally applied electrostatic charge.
