Compuprint Products Information
Thanks for choosing the Compuprint 9070plus printer models.
Your printer is a reliable working equipment that will be very useful in your daily job.
Our printers have been designed to be compact and respectful of the work environment. They offer a wide range of features and multiple functions that confirm the high technological level reached by the Sferal printers with Compuprint brand.
To maintain these printing performances unchanged in the long run, Sferal wwt has developed specific Compuprint branded consumables for each printer type (for example: ribbon cartridges for dot matrix printers, toner and OPC cartridges for laser printers, bubble ink jet cartridges for inkjet printers) that assure an excellent operation with high printing quality level reliability.
Sferal wwt recommends to use only its original Compuprint branded consumables with original packaging (identified by its holographic label). In this way, a proper use of the printer at quality level stated in the product characteristics can be assured. All typical usage problems related to not certified consumables may be avoided, such as an overall quality print level degradation and, often, the reduction of the product life due to the fact that the proper working conditions for the print heads, OPC cartridge and other printer parts are not assured.
Moreover, Sferal does not only certify its consumables in terms of working conditions but also carefully controls their compliance with the international standard rules concerning:
• no cancerous materials;
• no flammability of the plastic materials;
• other standards
Sferal advises the customers not to use products for which the compliance to this safety rules are not warranted. Finally seek your dealer or contact a Sferal office and be sure that are provided you the original Compuprint branded consumables.

The main printer setup parameters can be selected via the operator panel. The setup parameters are divided into two printer setups, the Power-On Configuration, that allows a complete configuration at installation time according to the hardware and the emulation types, and the Program Setup, that allows you to set the functions that are the most useful in your daily job. These settings can be selected when the printer is online without printing or offline ( ON LINE indicator unlit) and stored in the NVM.

Make sure the printer has been turned off for at least 15 minutes before starting any cleaning operations.
Periodic cleaning will help keep your printer in top condition so that it will always provide optimal performance.
• Use a neutral detergent or water solution on a soft cloth to clean dirt and grease from the cabinet of the printer.
• Do not use an abrasive cloth, alcohol, paint thinner or similar agents because they may cause discoloration and scratching.
• Be especially careful not to damage the electronic and mechanical components.

O p t t i i o n s
T h e C o n t t r r o l l l l e r r B o a r r d
The printer’s interface available configurations are:
• Controller board with serial, parallel and USB interfaces
• Controller board with LAN and parallel interfaces.
The original configuration may be modified by ordering the controller board with the desired interfaces and replacing the existing board with it.
I I n s t t a l l l l i i n g t t h e C o n t t r r o l l l l e r r B o a r r d
Follow the reported instruction in case of Controller Board replacement.
Handling the Controller Board
Attention: Do not remove the Controller Board from the protective package until instructed to do so. Static electricity, though harmless to you, can damage sensitive Controller Board components. Use the information in this section to avoid damaging a Controller Board.
• Limit your movement. Your movement can create static electricity that, when released to the
Controller Board, can damage the electronic components on the Controller Board. Sliding your foot across carpeting is an example of how you create unwanted static electricity.
• Handle the Controller Board only by the edges and prevent others from making direct contact with it.
• Before removing the Controller Board from the protective package, ground the package to exposed metal at the back of the printer. This will release any static charge that may have developed on the package or on your body. Hold the package against the metal for at least two seconds.
• When you are instructed, remove the Controller Board and install it directly into the
Controller Board slot without setting it down. If you have removed the Controller Board from the protective package and cannot immediately insert it in the printer, place the protective package on a flat surface, and set the Controller Board on top of the protective package.
135
Replacing the Controller Board
Attention: Ensure that the printer is powered off before installing or removing the Controller
Board.
If the Controller Board is installed while the printer is powered on, the controller will not synchronize with the printer mechanism board.
Unpredictable printer behavior will result.
Perform the following steps to replace the Controller Board:
1. Ensure that the printer is powered off. Installing the Controller Board with the printer power on will result in unpredictable printer behavior.
2. Use the screwdriver that came in the Controller Board box to remove the existing
Controller Board and pull out the card.
3. Use the information under “Handling the Controller Board” on the preceding page as you remove the Controller Board from its shipping box and from the protective package.
4. Align the left and right sides of the Controller Board with the guides in the printer and slide it into the slot.
136
5. Gently push the Controller Board into the printer until it is seated in the connector inside the printer. The Controller Board is correctly seated in the printer when the Controller
Board metal plate is aligned with the back profile of the slot.
137
6. Attach the Controller Board with the two screws using the screwdriver that came in the
Controller Board box.
