5. Mounting

Mounting5.

This is brie instruction how to mount a GEN2™ printer into a

Harmony™ or an e-motion™ cabinet. Please note that or e-motion™ machines usually a blue bezel is used. A mounting

instruction or Cashline™ machines is available as a seperate

document.

1. Check printer DIP switch settings (see chapter 6.5 “DIP

Switch Settings”).

2. Mount the bezel LED board to the ront bezel. The earth-

ing cable has to be mounted as illustrated. Do not squeeze

the cables between PCB and bezel.

3. Mount the bezel to the printer. Connect it to the bezel port

and x the cables with a cable tie as illustrated.

4. Slide out the printer drawer and mount the retainer plate

under the printer using 4 hex nuts M4. Take care not to

damage the copper earthing clips on the bottom o the

unit.

5. Thread the printer cable harness (connects the printer spi-

ral cable to the lterboard signal) into the cabinet. Con-

nect it to connector P1 at the lterboard signal (upper let)

and the other end to the 14-pin Molex™ connector o the

printer spiral cable. Leave the two smaller connectors o

the printer spiral cable ree.

Ne: Please note that the GEN2™

printer uses a shorter bezel than theold Seiko®/FutureLogic™ PSA-66-ST

(GEN1) printer.




5. Mounting

5. Mounting cont. ...

5. Mount the printer with attached retainer plate into the

cabinet and x it with 2 knurled nuts. Do not ully tightenthe knurled nuts to allow mounting depth adjustment

mount the printer rame cover instead (use a T10 torx

screwdriver). Do not ully tighten the screws to allow ad-

justment.

7. Now careully close the maindoor and check the rame po-

sition. Adjust the printer mounting depth and the printer

rame cover allignment or best tting. The printer outletshould be in the middle o the rame cover and the space

arround the outlet should be as small as possible. The

unit should not be under pressure when the maindoor is

closed.

8. When the allignment is done, do ully tighten the screws
