![10 Setting Up the PrinterConnecting the Laminating UnitAn optional Laminating Unit is available for thisprinter. A special connection cable is required toconnect this unit. Consult your dealer for more details.Setup Location for InstallationTThe performance of card printers is greatly influencedby the environment of the installation location.Do not install at the following locations.•Dusty LocationThe cleanliness level of location where the printeris used should be compliant with ISO14611-1 Class8. Different from the common type of paper printers,dusty locations will result in uneven print densityand breakdown of the dusty thermal head. Switchoff the printer’s power when no card is beingprinted. Fine dust will be collected inside the printerafter leaving the power on for a long time, resultingin uneven or dirty print.• Locations with strong vibrations and shock•Locations exposed to direct sunlight•Locations where there is possibility of foreignobjects such as metal pieces entering the printer•Locations against the wall with poor ventilation•Unstable and inclined locations•Locations which easily give rise to staticelectricity such as carpeted rooms•Locations which easily give rise to condensationinside the printer such as places near the cooler,humidifier or stoveTemperature and humidity of room where printer isinstalled should be as follows.Temperature : 15 °C to 30°CHumidity : 35 % to 70 %There are ventilation holes for cooling at the back of theprinter. Place back more than 10 cm away from thesurrounding wall. Do not place any object above theprinter.CAUTIONUsing the printer in an environmentbeyond the above range may cause printing problemsdue to decrease in print density at low temperature anddistorted card and creased ribbon at high temperature.CAUTIONIf the mounting is uneven, the cardwill not be transported smoothly. Be sure that the unitsfit in properly. Always install the unit at a horizontaland hard surface.1.Set up the unit coupler plate which comes withthe laminating unit (optional).2.Insert the printer and laminating unit into thehole.ElectricshockWARNING䢇Install and uninstall the laminating unit onlyafter switching off the power of the printeras well as other devices that are connectedto it and pulling out the plug from the poweroutlet.
