Communications. This equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour
aged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

différents.
Congratulations....
On your choice of a Citizen label printer.
Please take a moment to read this Quick Start Guide which will familiarise yourself with the
printer and its operation. The printer is a sophisticated but easy-to-use label printer featuring
simple media loading and quick connection together with a powerful VuePrint menu
configuration system.
We will guide you through unpacking of the printer from its carton, connection to your
computer system and installation of the media including a quick self-test of the printer to
ensure it is working.
Safety
But if you have not done so already, please carefully read the safety instructions included at
the beginning of this Quick Start Guide and in more detail on the user manual included on
the CD-ROM. Failure to observe the safety precautions could cause serious injury or damage
to both you and your property.
Unpacking Your Printer
a. Carefully unpack your new printer and ensure all the items shown on the adjacent picture
are present in your printerís carton. In some cases, your supplier or Citizen may have
added extra items required for your particular installation such as additional CD-ROM,
cable or manuals. Instructions for each of these items will be included within the individual
packages.
b. If you have any questions, or if you find any of the items are missing, please initially refer
back to your supplier. Otherwise, contact details for Citizenís regional offices are shown
on the back page of this Quick Start Guide.
c. The printer is shipped with adhesive tape in place to hold the top cover closed. Simply
remove the two pieces of tape on either side of the top cover. Then simply open the cover
by lifting up and tipping it backwards.
d. There is another strip of adhesive tape that must be removed which holds the mechanism
closed for shipping. Remove the tape and attached paper by carefully peeling from the
plastic case. A further piece of packing paper is inside the mechanism and you can
remove this when the head is opened as explained later in this manual.

For Further Information ...
For further information and more detailed instructions on the use of your new
printer, please refer to the complete user manual included on the CD-ROM
accompanying your printer.
Alternatively, you may find it easier to contact your local Citizen office as follows:
Connection to Power
a. Check that the power switch to the printer is turned OFF.
b. Connect the connector of the power cord to the power cord inlet on the printer.
c. Insert the plug of the power cord in the AC outlet.
Connection
Connection to a Computer
This product has three interfaces that can be used to receive printing data: a serial port
(RS232C), parallel port (IEEE1284, Non-L. P. S.), and a USB port (USB1.1). An optional
internal network interface can be added by your dealer. If an optional network interface is
used, the standard parallel port is removed from the printer, so the parallel interface cannot
be used.
To connect the cable, proceed as follows:
a. Turn OFF the power switches of both the printer and the computer.
b. Connect one end of the interface cable to the interface connector on the back of the
printer and secure it with locks or locking screws, where available.
c. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the interface connector on the computer
and secure it with locks or locking screws, where available.
Safety Instructions - which must be stric
tly observed
Use an AC outlet that accepts a three-pronged plug.
Otherwise, static electricity may be generated and there
will be danger of electric shock.
