SET-UP LOCATION

EDP Network Connection The ROWE network printer by standard comes with an Ethernet card 10/100/1000 Mbps. The card is equipped with an RJ 45 plug serving as interface to connect a twisted-pair with the same plug type. The connection to the network should always be executed in cooperation with the customer’s system administrator. Make sure that the network cable and the power cable are not installed side by side. For cable protection, please use cable channels or solid cable conduits.

Electrical Connection Check the voltage existing at the sockets, which are intended for the printer, scanner and folding machine, by means of a measuring instrument. The voltage must be 220-240 Volt. Check the fuse protection of the supply line. The automatic circuit breaker must have K-characteristics. „K“ solves the conflict of objectives between operating security in case of current peaks and quick switch-off in case of a short circuit. The maximum power input of the print system amounts to approx. 13 Amp. For this reason no further devices must be connected to the socket circuit of the print system. Note: The accordingly long supply distances of the feed cables may lead to increased voltage drops after switch-on of the printer. In extreme case, this may lead to an uncontrolled reset and switch-off of the printer. After the start-up, please check by means of a measuring instrument whether the supply voltage remains stable during the first switch-on and the warm-up period. This examination must take place during a period of full operation in the enterprise, i.e. when preferably all further machines and devices of the enterprise are switched on.

Foreword

Chapter 2: Software configuration Foreword The following software applications are installed as standard on delivery of the printer:

ROWE RS [Network Printer] 1.

2.

The ROWE RS network printer is equipped with an integrated web server incl. user management, via which clients can send print jobs, administrate them and call the current printer status from any computer in the network via a web browser. These functions are pooled in the web interface under the name ROWE PRINT MANAGER. The system has got an internal print server, which can be used for printing via LPR or Socket. The scope of supply of this system comprehends an HPGL and a Postscript printer driver for Windows with ROWE specific parameters. These drivers can be installed on the workstations of the customer.

ROWE RC [Network Scanner] 1.

The functions of the scan unit of the ROWE RC network scanner correspond to the functions of the ROWE RCS scanner indicated in the below section under item 2.

ROWE RCS [Network Multifunction Devices] 1. 2.

The functions of the print unit of the ROWE RCS network multifunction device correspond to the above-indicated functions of the RS network printer. In addition, the integrated web server of the ROWE system includes the ROWE SCAN MANAGER, which provides the possibility to scan from any workstation via the network. The scan can be displayed in the web browser, and without rescanning, the parameters, such as brightness, can be modified online. Afterwards the scan can be stored or printed.

All systems of the ROWE 4000 + 6000 + 8000 + 9000 series fulfil the requirements of the Energy Star and thus may be kept switched on permanently, without the jeopardy of high energy consumption. The ROWE system provides the following operation modes which can be adjusted via the operator panel: 1. 2. 3.

38

In the so-called active operational mode, the ROWE network printer automatically switches over to the low-energy mode after an adjustable time span. In the low-energy mode, the fusing temperature is decreased by a particular value depending on the print volume. Thereby the energy consumption of the heaters and of the electric consumers is reduced. In the so-called sleep mode (night and weekend) all energy relevant consumers are completely switched off. A new print job automatically switches the printer back to the active operational mode.

Chapter 2: Software configuration

Passwords The access to the pages and applications of the integrated web-based ROWE controller can be individually adjusted by the customer’s administrator, respectively by the authorised ROWE service engineer. The user management and the configuration pages are only accessible to the administrator and the ROWE service engineer. On these pages, the access authorisations for each user can be determined. The preset password for the customer’s administrator should as soon as possible be replaced by an own password. The following password is preset for the administrator access: User name: Password:

administrator admin

The access data for the service engineer is the following: User name: Password:

service surf@rx

Note: The service password is solely intended for the ROWE service engineer and authorised distributors. This password must not be passed to customers or third persons. This password cannot be changed.

39

Network settings

Network settings In order to integrate the ROWE system into the existing network structures of the customer, the network data must be amended. This can be done directly via the web interface of the ROWE system. In order to change the network data via the web interface, please proceed as follows: Note: In order to change the network data, a second PC is required meeting the following requirements: 1. The PC is linked with the ROWE system via the customer’s network. 2. On this PC, the same IP address circuit is set as on the ROWE system. The IP address differs merely in the last place: Example:

ROWE System: Respective PC:

IP: 10.10.200.50 IP: 10.10.200.51

Sub: 255.255.0.0 Sub: 255.255.0.0

Change of ip address via the web interface: Connect the ROWE system to the local network by means of the network plug at the back. Note: Do only connect the ROWE system to the local network upon approval by the customer (administrator).

On delivery the integrated ROWE controller is preconfigured with a network address. This network address is required in order to access the web interface of the ROWE device. You can enquire the preset IP address via the operator panel as follows: Note: All systems of the ROWE 4000 + 6000 + 8000 + 9000 series are preconfigured with the same network parameters, which do only differ individually in the last place of the IP address. The following parameters are set by default: IP address: 10.10.200.xxx Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 Hostname: rowebasis

Keep the enter-key of the operator panel pressed for three seconds. The service menu opens for selection of the according configuration.

41

Change of ip address via the web interface:

Machine data Status IP - Address 10.10.200.50

After having enquired the current network address of the ROWE system, you must ensure that the PC, via which you wish to access the web interface of the ROWE system, is located in the same network circuit as the ROWE system. This means that the PC must have the same subnet mask and that the IP address may only differ in the last place.

6

Example: Network settings ROWE System: IP address: 10.10.200.50 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 Network settings PC: IP address: 10.10.200.51 Subnet Mask:255.255.0.0 Start the web browser on the PC via which you intend to access the web interface of the ROWE system. Feed the IP address of the ROWE system into the address bar. After confirmation by the enter-key, the browser displays the main menu of the ROWE web server.

Chapter 2: Software configuration Select the menu item „network“. On this page, enter the network addresses determined by the customer’s administrator. In connection with this data, the DNSsuffix, the gateway and the domain entry, respectively the work group entry, are also of particular importance, as these settings are significantly responsible for the accessibility in the network and on file upload. If no DNS-suffix and no gateway are used in the customer’s network, the IP address of the ROWE system must be entered in these boxes. In addition, the Mac-address is shown on this page.

9

Note: An incorrectly configured DNSsuffix or gateway may lead to significant loss of performance when accessing the internal web server of the ROWE system. Note: In case the DNS-server is entered manually, the administrator must supplement the name of the ROWE system manually in the DNS-system. On activation of DHCP, all addresses are automatically obtained from the customer’s DHCP-server. Further entries are of no significance. After a reboot the settings allocated by the DHCP-server are displayed in these boxes. When using DHCP it must be ensured that the hostname is assigned unambiguously, so that the ROWE system can be clearly identified by this name. On delivery the hostname is preset as „rowebasis“. After entry of all data, click on „change“. The data becomes active after a reboot.

Chapter 2: Software configuration

Definition of the available resources In this section you will find a description as to how to define customer-specific resources (paper rolls). In this context you have to mind that the available resources do not just comprehend the paper rolls inserted in the printer, but any resources which may be used in the printer. That means, if e.g. a paper roll width or paper type is required that is not inserted at present but basically available on the customer’s site, the printer is to display an according demand for resources, so that the customer can insert the required roll. By means of the Output Manager all available resources can be defined. Note: It does not make sense to define paper rolls which generally are not available on the customer’s site. A second possibility to define the resources is the function “roll width take over from machine“. When this function is activated, only inserted rolls are used as resources. In order to define the resources, call the main menu of the ROWE device and open the menu point „Printer Configuration“. This area is password protected.

Via the box „Add roll“ you can define new resources. Besides the name, you can define the roll width, the maximal paper length and the material type. When creating the name, use the following syntax: 1. The keyword „ROLL“ is automatically set at the beginning of the name 2. The paper roll width should follow directly after the keyword, e.g. ROLLA1 or ROLL 914 3. The medium should be written behind the paper roll width, separated by an underscore, e.g. ROLLA1_PAPER The width and length are defined in mm. As length, it is useful to define the length of the customer’s print files, e.g. at a maximum original length of 15 m = 15000. Note: If the length is defined too low (< 1000), this will lead to a resource error, e.g. with A0 format. Note: The maximum roll width value amounts to 914 mm, and the maximum roll length value is 62000mm. These values describe the largest possible print width and print length of the ROWE printer.

Chapter 2: Software configuration When activating the function „Roll width take over from machine“, solely the inserted rolls are used as resources, i.e. there is no resource demand displayed for rolls which are not defined in the device. All print jobs are output on the rolls which are available in the printer.

5

Note: If this setting is activated and a print file is sent that is wider than the widest roll in the device, it will be cut at one side when being printed, as the file is output at original scale. Alternatively the printer can downscale the file to fit the widest roll available.

Paper format definition

Paper format definition In this section you will find a description as to how to define customer-specific formats, fix formats, the orientation of formats, as well as their scaling for the PRINT MASTER. These settings can easily be defined by means of the Output Manager. Note: The following functions can be defined in detail via the Output Manager / Formats: > The orientation of the formats for output without folding can be defined via the column „Orientation“. > The set-up of user-defined formats is effected via the box „Add new format“. > The set-up of fix formats, i.e. formats, on which a print image is reproduced true to scale. The paper size, however, is independent from this. Example: You print an A4-sized file on an A0 fix format. As result, you will receive a printout of A0 size, where an A4 image is printed in the centre (depending on the orientation selected) true to scale (the remaining area is plain). This function is interesting to customers having files of different sizes and wanting to output them true to scale on the ever equal paper size. > Via the column „Use in Print Master“, you can furthermore define those formats which are to be immediately selectable via PRINT MASTER. > Via the defined formats, also the scaling formats used by the internal ROWE controller are determined.

In order to define the formats, select the main menu of the ROWE device and open the menu item “Printer Configuration”. This area is password protected.

Now select the page „Output Manager“.

configuration of the rowe Web interface

Chapter 3: Web interface configuration configuration of the rowe Web interface By standard, a web server is installed on every controller of the ROWE RS/RC/RCS 4000 – 9000 series. The task of this web server is to show the user interface dynamically as web interface. Via this web interface, any user having the according network authorisations can access the ROWE network printer or network scanner from his workstation via the network, namely by means of standard browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc.. Via the web interface, operation and configuration functions can be executed. In order to be able to use all functions of the web interface in the optimal way, the following settings need to be made. Note: In order to make the settings described in the following part, local administrator rights are required on the relevant workstation! You will obtain the according rights from the customer’s administrator.

Browser adjustment

1. Cache Every browser has the feature of storing web pages in a „cache“ (buffer memory). This function enables the browser to display the addressed website quicker in case of slow connections, as it needs not wait for the data coming from the net. The disadvantage of this feature is that the browser does not display the latest version of the web page, which may lead to misunderstandings, e.g. regarding the roll status display or input of parameters. For this reason the browser on the customer’s workstation must be adjusted to that respect that the newest version is displayed whenever the web page is accessed. This setting ensures that every user has the current data displayed. In order to configure the browser accordingly, please proceed as follows: With Internet Explorer: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Proxy Connections In many customer networks, there is a proxy server installed, in order to make the data transfer between the workstations and the internal or external servers more efficient respectively faster (less network load through large data volumes). In addition to this, the security in the network is increased by application of access control mechanisms.

59

Browser adjustment

If a proxy server is used in the customer’s network, it is necessary to bypass or to switch off the proxy server in order to access a PC in the internal network (e.g. the ROWE controller in the printer or scanner) via a web browser. Note: If no proxy server is used in the customer’s network, the below settings need not be executed. In order to make the proxy settings, please proceed as follows: With Internet Explorer: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Open the browser Select the dropdown menu „Tools“ in the headline Select the menu point „Internet Options“ from the dropdown menu Select „Connections“ in the window „Internet Options“

5. Click on the button „LAN Settings“ and check the existing settings under the point “Proxy Server“. If the menu item „Use a proxy server for your LAN“ is activated, follow point 6. If this item is not activated, no proxy server is used. In case it should nevertheless not be possible to establish any connection to the ROWE controller, please check points in chapter „Troubleshooting“. Note: Via the menu option „Use a proxy server for your LAN“, you can activate/deactivate the usage of a proxy server. However, in general it is not advisable to deactivate the proxy server settings without prior consultation with the customer’s EDP administrator, since the switch-off does also deactivate other browser functions, e.g. the Internet access.

6. Now click on “Advanced“ in the box “Proxy Server“, in order to exclude the IP address, respectively the network name of the ROWE controller, from the proxy server. Enter the IP-address of the device or the network name in the box “Exceptions”. If several addresses

consultation with the customer’s EDP administrator, since the switch-off does also deactivate other browser func-tions, e.g. the Internet access.

7. Now enter the IP address, respectively the network name of the ROWE controller, in the box „No Proxy for:“ on the page „Connection Settings“. If several addresses are entered, a semicolon must be used as separator between the addresses. Note: If you want to exclude an entire IP address circuit, i.e. all IP addresses that do only differ in the last position, then enter the following data: Example: In order to exclude all IP addresses from 192.168.232.1 – 255, just enter 192.168.232.0/24. This setting is very convenient for example if you wish to address a ROWE printer, a ROWE scanner and a HP Design Jet via the browser.

3. Java - Applet In order to be able to use all functions of the ROWE web interface via a web browser, the applied browser must have a Java Plug-In, which has to be installed on the customer’s workstation. This Java Plug-In is required for the function of the integrated Java Applets. Java-Applets are some kind of programme by which the operator can directly interact on the website, without the necessity to send data to the web server. One programme of this kind is e.g. the ROWE PRINT MASTER. The Java Plug-In is part of the Java Runtime Environment, which can be subsequently installed on the customer’s workstation as follows: If you do not have a current Java Runtime Installation Routine, you can download the Java Runtime Environment free of charge directly from the producer „Sun Microsystems“ under the following link: http://www.java.com/de/index.jsp Note: In order to be able to make use of all functions of the ROWE web interface, the minimum Java Runtime version required is 1.44 or higher. After the installation of the Java Runtime environment and a reboot of the workstation, the following adjustments have to be executed at the Java Runtime environment. Adjustment of the available memory for the Java Plug-In By standard, the Java Plug-In is configured for a data transfer of 16 MB maximum only. In order to adjust this setting, two parameters are applied:

62

Chapter 3: Web interface configuration a. -xms: This parameter specifies the minimum memory capacity being available and used when the Java Plug-In is started. b. -xmx: This parameter specifies the maximum memory capacity being available for the Java Plug-In. This value most not be larger than the RAM physically installed in the workstation. Note: These settings are required for sending large sets, respectively large files, out of the ROWE PRINT MASTER. In order to enter these parameters with a Microsoft Windows operating system ( Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows Vista ), please proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Click on „Start“. Select the menu item „Settings“. In the submenu „Settings“, select the item „Control Panel“. In the window „Control Panel“, select the item „Java“ by a double click, In the window „Java Control Panel“, select the tab „Java“. In the tab „Java“, select the box „ Java – Applet – Run Time“ and click on the button “Adjust”. The window „Java Run Time Parameters“ opens. 7. Enter the following values in the column „Runtime Parameters“ in this window: > -Xmx256m > If required, the value –Xms256m may be entered additionally. This value ensures that a defined memory volume is used whenever the Java Plug-In is booted. > When entering both parameters, the parameters are separated by a blank. Example: -Xmx256m -Xms256m Note: By entering the parameter –Xmx, 256 MB RAM are made available for the Java PlugIn, i.e. the Applet uses as much RAM as it requires, but 256 MB maximum. By additional input of the parameter –Xms, always the entered value is used, without consideration of the requirement. The size of the memory that you can enter behind the parameters depends on the physical memory being available in the workstation. Example: A workstation has 128 MB RAM, consequently the parameters can be set as 64 MB maximum: -Xmx64m –Xms64m Attention: Do never choose a parameter value exceeding half the volume of the physical memory installed in the workstation.

Firmware version check and execution of a Firmware update

Firmware version check and execution of a Firmware update In order to make sure that every ROWE device is always equipped with the latest firmware version, the up-to-dateness of the firmware must be checked and, if necessary, be updated, whenever a start-up or maintenance service are carried out. You will find the current enabled firmware versions on the ROWE download server at any time. The ROWE download server can be accessed via the following address: http://www.rowe-server.ath.cx/Firmware/ROWE-Serie_4000+6000 The access is password protected. For receipt of your personal access data, please contact the ROWE export department ([email protected]). The firmware versions of the ROWE 4000 – 9000 series models are composed of the following parts: a. Operating system updates. These updates are independent of the device type and can be used for all ROWE devices of the 4000 – 9000 series (RC / RS / RCS). These updates include updates for the operating system and for the internal driver. The designation may read e.g. debian-update-7.0.tgz . b. Device software updates. These updates are dependent on the device type, i.e. there are updates for RC scanners, RS printers and RCS multifunction devices. These updates include updates of the internal ROWE controller, of the web interface, as well as of the converters and system control. The designation of such an update is composed as follows: e.g. rowefirm-rcs-1.4.3_07.11.tar > > > >

67

Firmware version check and execution of a Firmware update

Firmware Update When executing a firmware update, a certain succession must be observed, which is the following: 1. Update of the operating system (debian updates): The installation of the operating system update must be executed in accordance with the revision number subsequence. Example: debian 1.0 > debian 2.0 > debian 3.0..... . With debian updates having the same main revision number (first position), but different numbers as second position, you generally have to use that version with the highest second position value. Example: debian 1.0 > debian 2.0 > debian 3.0 > debian 4.0 > debian 5.0 > debian 6.3 > debian 7.4 > etc.

2. Update of the controller software and the device control software (rowefirm). The controller software and the device control software are automatically installed in one package, as it must be absolutely ensured that both software versions are compatible with each other. Due to different hardware, the installation procedure differs. When updating the device control software (main PCB) together with the controller software, the serial connection cable (com) must always be connected to the upper serial connector of the machine control card. In this context, there are the following hardware variants:

Variant A in operating condition

Chapter 3: Web interface configuration With RS / RCS Printer: a. Machines produced before November 2007 (white cable): The ROWE controller PC is connected to the lower serial connector of the machine control card via a white serial interface cable. In order to execute a device control update, the lower cable coming from the controller PC must be switched, i.e. it must be plugged on the upper connector. The interface cable for the folding machine, which is already connected there, must be unplugged. An installation without changing the plug will be stopped with an error message display in the web template. After completion of the update, the cables must be switched back again.

b. Systems produced as of 01 November 2007 (black cable): The ROWE controller PC now is connected to the upper serial connector of the machine control card via a special black cable. When executing the device control update, there now is no more need to switch any cable. The interface cable for the folding machine is connected to the lower serial connector of the machine control card now. Furthermore dip-switch no. 6 on the main PCB is set on “ON”.



69

Firmware version check and execution of a Firmware update

Note: A conversion of devices dispatched before 01 November 2007 to the new version can be done without major effort. The following points need to be minded: > Exchange of the serial cable between controller PC and machine control card. The adapter cable can be ordered under part no. BT 66/10/260. > This cable must be connected to the upper serial connector of the machine control card. > The connection cable to the folding machine is now connected to the lower serial connector of the machine control card. > Moreover dip-switch no. 6 on the machine control card must be set on “ON”. With RC Scanner: a. In the case of the RC scanner, the following default settings must be checked and amended, if applicable. The internal ROWE controller PC must be connected to the rear serial connector of the machine control card via a white serial interface cable. Moreover dipswitch no. 6 on the machine control card must be set on “ON”. Note: Prior to a firmware update, you absolutely have to create a snapshot.

Chapter 3: Web interface configuration Checking the ROWE Controller Services Several services work on the internal ROWE printer and scanner controller, which have different priorities to the operation of the system. The following services work on the device: 1. Controller RCS 500:

This service is required for the complete queue and converter management of the ROWE printer, as well as for communication with the printer device control. This service is generally required for printing operation!

2. Listener:

This service is required for the listener functions of the ROWE printer, i.e. the printer automatically prints all files that are copied into a defined folder. This service is not necessarily required for the mere printing operation out of ROWE PRINT MASTER!

3. Socket interface:

This service is required for the applications to access the socket port of the internal ROWE controller. Example: Without the socket port, you do not obtain any information from the printer via the web interface. Furthermore this service is required for printing via a socket port of the printer. This service is generally required for printing operation, as well as for the web interface!

4. FRANS / KNET:

This service is required for connection to the plot management system “Plossys” from SEAL SYSTEMS. This service is not required for printing operation without Plossys.

5. PPD Server:

This service is required for ROWE PS and HPGL printer drivers. This service provides the device-specific data. This service is not necessarily required for the mere printing operation out of ROWE PRINT MASTER .

6. Scan Interface:

This service is required for all functions of the ROWE scanner, as well as for communication with the scanner device control. This service is not required for printing operation.

7. LPR:

This service is required for printing with a printer driver via an LPR port [Line Printer Remote] from a Windows work station on the ROWE printer. This service is not required for the mere printing operation out of ROWE PRINT MASTER.

8. CUPS:

This service is required for the printer queue management on the ROWE printer. This service is not required for the mere printing operation out of ROWE PRINT MASTER. However, without this service, copying via a ROWE scanner is not possible.

9. FTP:

This service is required for printing via FTP Protocol [File Transfer Protocol] on the ROWE printer, e.g. out of a Unix environment. This service is not required for the mere printing operation without FTP. Note: This service is the FTP server service, which must not be mistaken for the Samba client service that is used for the file upload via FTP with the ROWE RC scanner. The FTP client service is completely independent of the FTP server service, as the client is responsible for the transfer from the ROWE system into the Windows/Unix network, whereas the server is responsible for the transfer from the Windows/Unix network back to the ROWE system.

73

Checking the ROWE Controller Services

10. Samba: This service is required for making shares (folders) on the ROWE controller visible to a Windows system. If this service is stopped, the ROWE system is not accessible anymore out of the Windows network. The web interface functions are not affected by the stop of the Samba service. Note: This service is the Samba server service, which must not be mistaken for the Samba client service, that is used for the file upload via SMB with the ROWE RC scanner. The Samba client service is totally independent of the Samba server service, as the client is responsible for the transfer from the ROWE system into the Windows network, whereas the server is responsible for the transfer from the Windows network to the ROWE system.

In order to check the status of the services, please proceed as follows: Select the main menu of the ROWE device in the browser and select the menu item „System Configuration“. This area is password protected.

Chapter 3: Web interface configuration

Remote Control By standard, every ROWE system has a remote control facility. This means that in case of a problem or if the device software needs to be adapted, the customer or the service engineer can activate this function. The ROWE system then establishes a connection to the ROWE server in Niederdreisbach / Germany and thus enables the ROWE support engineer to access the device directly. Remote control facilitates the analysis and clearance of open items. Moreover individual adjustments of the configuration or subsequent modifications in the system can be shortly executed from the distance. Since adjustments via remote control can be executed at any time, the availability of the ROWE system to the customer thereby is increased. For this reason the remote control feature must, as a basic principle, be preconfigured to the individual network parameters of the customer on every ROWE system, so that the customer or the service engineer can activate the remote control function by the push of a button, if required. For remote control, the following preconditions are required: 1. The ROWE System must be connected to the Internet via the network 2. The address of the proxy server (if a proxy server is applied) 3. The authentication data (user with domain and password) of the proxy server (if a proxy server is applied and if an authentication at the proxy server is required) Note: You will obtain this data from the customer’s network administrator. Note: Remote control uses a VPN connection to the ROWE server via 443. The data is transmitted via https-protocol. To enter the data for remote control, please proceed as follows: Select the main menu of the ROWE device in the browser and select the menu item „System Configuration“. This area is password protected.

ROWE RS / RCS printer interfaces The internal ROWE printer controller has several interfaces as standard which can be used across platforms to print on the ROWE printer from other operating systems. The following describes the interfaces and the configuration options for the interfaces: LPR As a cross-platform interface, the internal ROWE controller creates printer queues via which print jobs can be sent to the ROWE printer by LPR port from a Windows system using a printer driver. These printer queues can be set up individually using the ROWE web interface and they can be given individual default settings. An LPR printer queue is required to connect a printer driver to the ROWE printer. SOCKET In addition, the ROWE printer also has a socket interface to receive print files directly via a TCP/IP port. These ports can also be set up individually using the ROWE web interface and be given individual default settings. The status messages, etc. are also communicated to the ROWE web interface via the socket interface. As an alternative to the LPR printer queue, a SOCKET port can be used for connecting a printer driver to the ROWE printer. LISTENER The LISTENER is another printer interface. The LISTENER permanently monitors a Samba shared directory on the hard disk of the internal ROWE printer controller and performs the jobs defined by means of the configuration file. This means that as soon as a file or complete job is copied into the relevant folder, the file for the job is processed with the relevant parameters by the printer and, if desired, printed immediately. These LISTENER folders can be set up individually using the ROWE web interface and they can be given individual default settings. R- LISTENER The LISTENER described above only monitors directories on the hard disk of the internal ROWE printer controller. This means that the LISTENER directories are only available if the ROWE printer is switched on. In addition, the directories must be shared in the network. A SAMBA share, however, is not desired in some customer networks. In such a case the ROWE printer controller can monitor any shared directory in a Windows or UNIX network via an R-LISTENER (REMOTE-LISTENER), in order to retrieve print files from this folder. The R-LISTENER monitors defined folders for new files and jobs. This means that if a new file or job is copied into the appropriate directory, it is retrieved by the R-LISTENER within a certain time interval and copied into a defined LISTENER directory of the ROWE controller. For the R-LISTENER to operate correctly, a corresponding LISTENER must be created on the ROWE printer controller in parallel with the directories in the network that have been shared. The R-LISTENER is configured via the ROWE web interface.

FTP-Protokoll FTP is often used to transfer print files from a UNIX or Windows database into a previously specified LISTENER directory of the ROWE controller. The transmission is carried out according

to the client server principle. On delivery, the FTP server is deactivated on the ROWE controller. The activation is effected via the ROWE web interface. For the FTP function a corresponding LISTENER must be created on the ROWE printer controller.

ROWE RS / RCS printer interfaces

Creation of a New Interface on a ROWE RS / RCS Printer: LPR Print jobs, which are sent to an LPR printer queue of the ROWE controller via a printer driver, are automatically forwarded by the system to the internal printer plot management. As a print job is always composed of an image file and an order file (ORD), it is checked prior to transmission to the internal print management of the printer whether the order file (ORD) is available and whether it is complete. Missing parameters are added from the standard order file allocated to the LPR printer queue. Example: If an available printer driver of the customer (no ROWE driver) is used for printing on the ROWE printer, the LPR printer queue order file (ORD) is always added to the image data sent via the LPR printer queue. This means that when using an existing printer driver of the customer, the printer output can be controlled via the standard LPR printer queue order file. In addition, you can indicate different functions by creating various LPR printer queues. Example: All image files that are sent to queue 1 are to be folded. Image files that are sent to queue 2 are not folded. With an original ROWE printer driver it is possible to set individual parameters directly at the printer driver. In order to create a new LPR queue, please proceed as follows:

Select the main menu of the ROWE device in the browser and select the menu item „Printer Configuration“. This area is password protected. The access data for the service engineer is: User: Password:

Chapter 3: Web interface configuration Now select the page „Queue Manager“. On this page the current user-defined and standard LPR printer queues are displayed. In addition, the printer queue status is displayed. By means of the buttons „Start / Stop“ you can start or stop the relevant printer queues.

2

Note: A stopped printer queue does not forward any print files to the internal plot management of the printer anymore, i.e. if a print job is sent from a local workstation to the stopped printer queue via a printer driver, it is not output on the printer. The job is only output after starting the printer queue. By means of the button „Create“ in the section „Custom-Queues“ you can create a new printer queue.

After having clicked on the button „Create“, an input box appears in which you can define the name of the new printer queue. The keyword „ROWE“ is automatically set in front of every name. After having entered the name, click on the button “Create” again, in order to create the printer queue.

In parallel with the creation of the printer queue, a standard order file (ORD) is created. This file bears the same name as the printer queue, but with the extension .ORD. You can edit this file by means of the template editor and adjust the parameters. The template editor can be called via the function „Edit templates“ in the „Custom-Queues“ section.

Select the relevant order file in the left window of the template editor and edit the parameters in the right window. Save your entries by clicking on the dropdown menu „File“ and selecting the menu item „Save“.

Socket Print jobs that are sent to a SOCKET port of the ROWE controller via a printer driver, are automatically forwarded by the system to the internal printer plot management. As a print job is always composed of an image file and an order file (ORD), it is checked prior to transmission to the internal print management of the printer whether the order file (ORD) is available and whether it is complete. Missing parameters are added from the standard order file allocated to the SOCKET port. Example: If an available printer driver of the customer (no ROWE driver) is used for printing on the ROWE printer, the SOCKET port order file (ORD) is always added to the image data sent via the SOCKET port. This means when using an existing printer driver of the customer, the printer output can be controlled via the standard SOCKET port order file. In addition, you can indicate different functions by creating various SOCKET ports. Example :All image data that are sent to port 1998 are to be folded. Image files that are sent to port 1997 are not folded. With an original ROWE printer driver that is connected to a SOCKET port, you can set the individual parameters directly at the printer driver.

LISTENER The LISTENER permanently monitors a Samba shared directory on the hard disk of the ROWE printer. In this directory various folders can be created, the so-called „LISTENERS“, which are configured by parameters from an order file (ORD). This means that as soon as a file or complete job is copied into the relevant folder, the file for the job is processed with the defined order file parameters by the printer and, if desired, printed immediately. As a print job is generally composed of an image file and an order file (ORD), the standard LISTENER order file is used if there is no order file (ORD) available. However, if an order file (ORD) exists with the copied order, the LISTENER interprets this file and applies the parameters to the order. These LISTENER folders can be individually created via the ROWE web interface and be provided with individual default settings.

In order to create a new LISTENER folder, please proceed as follows: Open the main menu of the ROWE device in the browser and select the menu item „Printer Configuration“. This area is password protected.

R-LISTENER The afore-described LISTENER monitors directories on the hard disk of the internal ROWE printer only. That means the LISTENER directories are only available if the ROWE printer is switched on. Furthermore the directories must be shared in the network. A Samba share, however, is not desired in some customer networks. In such a case the ROWE printer controller can monitor any shared directory in a Windows or UNIX network via an R-LISTENER (REMOTE-LISTENER) and retrieve print files from this folder. The R-LISTENER monitors defined folders for new files and jobs. This means that if a new file or job is copied into the appropriate directory, it is retrieved by the R-LISTENER within a certain time interval and copied into a defined LISTENER directory of the ROWE controller. For the R-LISTENER to operate correctly, a corresponding LISTENER must be created on the ROWE printer controller in parallel with the directories in the network that have been shared. The R-LISTENER is configured via the ROWE web interface.

The settings under „Security“ must also entitle the defined user to full access on the defined directory! Note: You will find the settings for share and security of a directory by clicking on the directory with the right-hand mouse button and selecting the menu item “Properties”. Note: After the R-LISTENER has copied the file out of the defined server directory into the LISTENER, the file is automatically deleted in the defined server directory.

FTP-Protocol FTP is often used to transfer print files from a UNIX or Windows database into a previously specified LISTENER directory of the ROWE controller. The transmission is carried out according to the client server principle. On delivery, the FTP server is deactivated on the ROWE controller. The activation is effected via the ROWE web interface. For the FTP function a corresponding LISTENER must be created on the ROWE printer controller. During the FTP transmission two connections are established between server (ROWE PRINTER) and client (customer workstation / server). The FTP Client (customer workstation) contacts the FTP server (ROWE PRINTER) on port 21 (command) and transmits the port number by which the server can establish the data connection (data). Subsequently the FTP server contacts the FTP client on this port. At the beginning of every FTP connection, there is the user authentication. This process is followed by the set-up of the control channel via port 21 and of the data channel via port 20. When the data transmissions are completed, the connections are terminated by the user or by the server (timeout).

ROWE printer drivers

Printing out of Windows For printing out of Windows applications, ROWE offers a printer driver that can easily and quickly be installed on a Windows workstation or on a Windows server by means of an installation routine. The installation routine recognises automatically whether it deals with a 32 bit or a 64 bit Windows operating system and thus installs the corresponding driver. By means of parameters the printer driver can be adapted to most different print modes and customer requirements. The operator can easily and comfortably influence all relevant output parameters (e.g. the folding programme or header position) via the Windows print dialogue of the ROWE printer driver. The installation routine of the printer driver installs a standard TCP/IP port on the respective workstation or server which displays the LPR standard queue „ROWE“ of the ROWE printer.

Proceeding in the Printer Driver Installation in a Customer Network Basically the printer driver installation method in the customer network can be determined by the following points: 1. The customer has only few workstations. Although these are linked with each other via the network, there is no server in the network. > In this case it is recommended to install the ROWE printer driver by means of the installation routine on every workstation from which it shall be printed on the ROWE printer. This means that every workstation has a direct connection to the ROWE printer. 2. The customer has a server-based network, i.e. every workstation is connected to the server via the network. The data and the users are administrated centrally. > In this case it is recommended to install the ROWE printer driver by means of the installation routine on the customer’s server (respectively print server) and to enable it. Now access authorisations to the printer driver via the server can be assigned to every user. Furthermore a shortcut to the printer driver installed on the server can be established on every workstation from which it shall be printed on the ROWE printer, i.e. only the server has a direct connection to the ROWE printer. This method offers great advantages regarding the printer driver administration and reduces the installation effort.

Note: For the printer driver installation you require server administrator authorisations on the respective workstation.

97

ROWE printer drivers

Installation of the ROWE Printer Driver You will find the enabled up-to-date version of the ROWE printer driver on the ROWE download server at any time.

Select the tab „Device Settings“ in the dialogue window „Properties“.

In the tab „Device Settings“, you will find the following relevant parameters: Maximum_Memory_for_Banding > This parameter determines how much RAM is reserved for banding when printing via the ROWE printer driver. Banding is the name for the proceeding applied by the printer driver, in which the print file is processed strip by strip. On installation this value is set on 128 which corresponds to 128 MB. This value can be increased in order to accelerate the processing of large image files. Attention: This value and the memory related to this should never fall below half the physical RAM installed on the workstation. Maximum_Count_of_supported_Formats > By this parameter the number of print formats of the printer driver (A1, A0, etc.) that are displayed can be limited. On installation, this value is set on 100, which corresponds to 100 formats displayed. This value can be increased or decreased, since certain applications support only a limited number of formats. Autodesk Auto CAD Mechanical Desktop 2007 for example does not support more than 120 formats. Note: Through limitation of choice some formats may not be selectable anymore!

ROWE RC / RCS Scanner Interfaces

ROWE RC / RCS Scanner Interfaces By standard the internal ROWE scanner controller has several interfaces, by which cross-platform scan files can be put into directories independent on the operating system or printed on a printer. In the following the interfaces and configuration options of the interfaces are described:

Scan to File: SMB As cross-platform interface for file upload, the internal ROWE controller provides the communication protocol SMB (Server Message Block). By means of the SMB protocol, files which have been created by the ROWE scanner can be transferred to shared directories in the Windows network via the internal Samba client service. The Samba client service is used in order to provide the LINUX-based ROWE systems with access to the resources in Windows Systems. The configuration is effected via the ROWE web interface. FTP As a further cross-platform interface for file upload, the internal ROWE controller provides the transfer protocol FTP (File Transfer Protocol). By means of the FTP protocol you can store files which have been created by the ROWE scanner on an FTP server in the network. FTP is a transfer protocol independent of operating systems. The configuration is effected via the ROWE web interface.

Scan to E-Mail: In addition the ROWE printer provides the function „Scan to E-Mail“, in order to send scan files as attachment to an e-mail recipient within the network or on the Internet. In order to be able to use this function, you need an e-mail server in the local network which can be addressed by the ROWE system. The configuration is effected via the ROWE web interface.

Scan to Copy: SOCKET As cross-platform interface for copying from the ROWE scanner on a ROWE printer or an ink jet printer, the internal ROWE controller can address the printers via the network and address the SOCKET port of the respective printer. Via this interface the image data as well as the job data are transmitted. The SOCKET interface is used when the printer has an integrated network card and a SOCKET interface. LPD As additional interface the internal ROWE scanner controller provides for the LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. By means of this protocol you can address a large-format printer that is connected to a Windows workstation via USB for example. The precondition is that the printer driver is installed on the workstation and enabled. As a basic principle, the printer must furthermore understand the data format (HP-RTL) of the files sent by the scanner. Moreover the UNIX print services must be installed and active on the Windows workstation.

Creation of a New Interface on a ROWE RC / RCS Scanner:

Creation of a New Interface on a ROWE RC / RCS Scanner:

Scan to File SMB (File upload from the ROWE Scanner on a Windows share) The files created by the ROWE scanner can be copied on shared directories in the Windows network by means of the SMB protocol. FTP

(File upload from the ROWE Scanner on an FTP Server) The files created by the ROWE scanner can be copied on shared directories of an FTP server by means of the FTP protocol. For both functions the following information is required from the customer: From the customer (administrator):

Server > The IP address of the server or of the workstation where the files are to be stored. Share > The name of the shared drive or directory of the server or of the workstation in the network, where the ROWE scanner is to store the files. Path > If the files which are to be stored by the ROWE scanner are to be stored in a subdirectory of the above-mentioned shared drive or directory, you need the path to the desired destination directory, starting with the first directory located under the above-mentioned share directory. Example: Path: Required path:

Share > Subdirectory 1 >Destination folder Subdirectory 1 >Destination folder

Note: If the destination folder is the share at the same time, there is no path required. User name > The name of the user by which the ROWE scanner logs on the above-mentioned server. Note: The user requires access authorisations to the defined share and the destination directory. Password > The password of the above-mentioned user. Domain > If the defined user is a domain user, you require the domain name. Dateinamen > The customer must define the file name desired. The file name consists of a fix and of a variable part. The fix part may be a name composed of letters and digits. As regards the variable part, the customer may choose between consecutive numbers or a time stamp. The options for the variable part are shown by synonyms (e.g. {ID} in place of a consecutive number) and are attached to the fix file name. The ROWE scanner then automatically creates a corresponding variable name when generating the file. The following attachments

In connection with the synonym {EXT}, the complete file name can be freely defined by means of the ROWE SCAN MANAGER and via the interface. Note: Mind the section „S2F out of the ROWE SCAN MANAGER.“. A file upload with this synonym may only be used in connection with the ROWE SCAN MANAGER. 5. {EXT}: file extension (should always be indicated!) Syntax example: Scan-{ID}{EXT} Example of the result: Scan-528.pdf Note: If no synonym {ID or TIMESTAMP) is used in the file name, the file name is always overwritten by a new scan.

Firewall

Chapter 4: Detail configuration Firewall A firewall is a network security component in computer technology, which permits or prohibits network communication by means of defined firewall rules and regulations. The aim of a firewall is to safeguard the data traffic between network segments with different trust levels. In most customer networks firewalls are used for safeguarding the local network. Moreover a firewall is installed on every standard installation of a new Windows operating system. To share communication between the ROWE scanner / printer and the customer network, the customer’s firewall must be adapted to the required interfaces of the ROWE scanner / printer. The ROWE scanner / printer requires the following ports for communication with the local customer network: With the Windows firewall the following exceptions must be defined: Port 21 > Port for FTP Port 25 > Port for SMTP / ROWE E-Mail notification TCP 139 TCP 445 UPD 138 UPD 139 > These ports are required for the data and printer shares / ROWE access e.g. to ROWE LISTENER Port 443 > Port for remote control of the ROWE scanner / printer Port 515 > For printing via LPD port Port 631 > This port is required for the internal ROWE print management (CUPS) Port 1997 > SOCKET Port for ROWE printer Port 1998 > SOCKET port for ROWE printer Port 9100 > SOCKET port for HP Designjet

132

Chapter 4: Detail configuration Note: To execute the adjustments described, local administrator authorisations are required on the workstation! You will obtain the according authorisations from the customer’s administrator. Execute these adjustments only after consultation with the customer’s administrator!

White balance on ROWE RC/RCS Scanners The white balance is the calibration of the individual CIS sensors (Contact Image Sensors) to a linear output signal, so that each sensor shows an identical scan image, even during fluctuating brightness. In addition the ROWE software provides manual fine calibration, so that individual sensor pixels can be recalibrated, if necessary. The white balance and the fine calibration have already been executed during the production of the ROWE device and are backed up by a snapshot. If it is necessary to execute the white balance again after a longer operation period, this can be done by means of the automated white balance assistant. The fine calibration can afterwards be executed manually. The following preconditions must be fulfilled before executing the calibration: > The glass plate and the reflector rollers have been cleaned. > You require the ROWE white balance template (BT 09/052) for the according scanner type (36“ / 50“). > The ROWE white balance template has been cleaned.

ROWE RC/RCS Scanner Stitching

ROWE RC/RCS Scanner Stitching (Ab V 1.6)

Stitching is the name given to the process by which the individually scanned images from the offset CIS (Contact Image Sensor) sensors are pieced together to form one scan image. The stitching process developed by ROWE calculates the exact position by means of the pixel information of the individual images, and optimally pieces together the image pixel by pixel. The stitching process is calibrated during production of the ROWE machines and safeguarded by means of a snapshot. If necessary, the stitching process can be re-calibrated by means of the automated stitching assistant. The following conditions must be fulfilled before calibration is performed: > The glass plate and the reflector rollers have been cleaned. > White balancing must have been successfully performed on the ROWE scanner beforehand. > A template which is at least 900 mm wide and at least 800 mm long is required for the 36“ scanner variant. The 43“ and 50“ versions require a template which is at least 1200 mm wide and at least 800 mm long. This template should contain a large number of fine coloured lines (data), e.g. a map with contour lines.

RoWE RC/RCS Scanner width detection

RoWE RC/RCS Scanner width detection The automatic width detection of the ROWE scanner can be operated in two versions. The first variant is detection to the nearest millimetre, i.e. the exact original width is detected and used for scanning. The second variant is format-related detection, i.e. the exact original width is detected and allocated to the nearest suitable format. The scanner now scans the allocated format width. For both variants the same detecting procedure is applied, i.e. the scanner draws the original in, scans the first 25 mm and returns the original to its starting position. On the basis of the scan image, the ROWE width detection procedure identifies the front edge and the two side edges, by which the original width is then calculated automatically. The width detection procedure can be negatively influenced by the following points: > > > > > > >

Bent or damaged sheet borders of the original Heavy scratches on the scanner glass plate Heavy staining in the glass plate / read head area Heavy scratches on the scanner reflector rollers Heavy staining in the reflector roller area Faulty white balance (a lot of stripes) Sub-optimally adjusted stitching

In order to check the scan image on the basis of which the original width is calculated, the ROWE scanner controller displays the image of the last width detection procedure. In this image the detected original edges are marked by coloured lines. By means of this image the cause for potential improper detection can be determined.

With Scan to File: Printer > By means of this parameter you can select the colour mode desired. It can be chosen from the following modes: o Truecolor: 24bit RGB colour o Grayscale: 256 greyscales o Grayscale HQ: 256 greyscales created from a colour image Note: In the Grayscale HQ mode the ROWE scanner scans at the same speed as in the colour mode. File-Format > By means of this parameter you can select the file format desired. It can be chosen from the following: o TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a file format for saving image data; this image data is generally provided by scanners, image input devices, drawing and photo editing programmes. TIFF describes and stores raster image data. TIFF is the most important file type for the exchange of image files. TIFF supports for example lossless image compression.

168

Chapter 4: Detail configuration o JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a procedure standardised in September 1992 for lossy compression of digital (natural) pictures, that was named after the committee by which it was developed. JPEG (shortly JPG) is one of the widest spread graphic formats for coloured photos and graphics. o PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format capturing all elements of a printed document in the form of an electronic image, that you can display, print or forward. o CALS (Computer-Aided Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support) has since the 1980es been the name for a worldwide strategy of authorities and enterprises for changing comprehensive technical documentation from paper to electronic documents. Originally CALS was developed by the US Department of Defense in order to accomplish uniform interchange formats (such as SGML, CGM and IGES) above all in the fields of military and armament. The file format CALS is solely used for B/W drawings. Tiff - Options > In this box you can define a TIFF compression. It can be chosen from the following compressions: o TIFF uncompressed is an uncompressed TIFF for colour and b/w. o TIFF jpeg is a compression scheme for scanning long colour originals. For this purpose a TIFF consisting of compressed JPEG stripes is used. Contrary to JPEG, this format is not limited in length. The compression rate can be defined via the JPEG quality. This compression scheme is lossy. o TIFF indexed is a compression scheme for scanning colour originals. The colours which are reproduced in the file are reduced to 256 colourings (4-4-3 colour range). o TIFF g4 (Group 4) is a lossless compression scheme for b/w line drawings. o TIFF packbits is a simple, lossless compression scheme for b/w line drawings. o TIFF zip is a lossless compression scheme for b/w and colour originals. Note:: Wählen Sie die Options „TIFF g4“ oder „TIFF-packbits“ nur dann, wenn Sie sicher sind, dass Sie diese Komprimierungen später verwenden können. Wählen Sie in allen anderen Fällen die Option „TIFF uncompressed“. Note: Wenn Sie schwarz/weiße Text- und Vektorzeichnungen scannen, verwenden Sie im Allgemeinen die „TIFF g4“ Komprimierung, da die „TIFF packbits“ Komprimierung in der Regel zu einem größeren Ergebnis führt. Note: „TIFF - g4“ oder „TIFF packbits“ sind Komprimierungsmethoden für schwarz/weiße Text- und Vektorzeichnungen. Wenn Sie diese Komprimierungen beim Scannen eines Fotos mit vielen Graustufen verwenden, kann dies zu einer negativen Komprimierung führen: Die Datei wird vergrößert anstatt verkleinert. Sie sollten in diesen Fällen daher die Komprimierungen mit Caution verwenden. JPEG - Quality > In this box you can define the compression rate when the file formats „JPEG“ or „TIFF JPEG“ are selected. By default this parameter is set on 85%. The adjustment range is 5% to 100%.

169

ROWE RC/RCS Scanner Templates

Note: JPEG compression is related with loss in quality, i.e. the lower the adjustment, the higher the compression, but also the higher the loss in quality. Output - DPI > In this box you can define what resolution the created file is to have. In this process the ROWE scanner interpolates the real scan resolution into the desired output resolution, which is defined in this box.

Note: This parameter is solely relevant for HP printers. Scalefactor > In this box you can, independent of the original format, perform a linear scaling in 0.25 steps. Note: This parameter is solely relevant for ROWE printers. Scalemode > Fit: The file is adapted to the output format, i.e. it is enlarged, respectively reduced. > Abstract: In this scaling mode the file is always output at 1:1. However, if the file is larger than the output format, the file is downscaled on the output format. With this function, however, files are never output enlarged. Note: The scaling mode has lower priority than the scaling factor, which means that the setting of the scale mode is ignored if the scaling factor is not set on 1.0. Note: The scaling modes „Fit“ or „Abstract“ may only be selected if you have selected a format (not „auto“ or „manual“) in the „Pagesize“ box, since there is no scaling performed in the „auto“ mode, and the page adaptation mode thus has no influence. Note: This parameter is solely relevant for ROWE printers. Header position > In this box you can set the header position of the inserted original. The header of a drawing is the title block, in which the name and the number of the drawing are written. In order to have this header legible on the first page of the folded drawing after copying, you need to indicate to the system at which position the header is located during the scan process. Note: This parameter is solely relevant for ROWE printers.

By means of the offline-key you can quit the menu You can adjust the following parameters: Fix set value paper > By means of this parameter, you can define the fusing temperature (°C) on the heater roller surface. This temperature is used for printing on plain paper and tracing paper. The adjustment range is 100°C to 200°C in 1°C-steps. The following default temperatures are recommended by the manufacturer: o ROWE RS / RCS 4000 = 165°C – 170°C o ROWE RS / RCS 6000 = 175°C – 180°C o ROWE RS / RCS 8000 = 185°C – 190°C o ROWE RS / RCS 9000 = 190°C – 195°C Fix set value film > By means of this parameter, you can define the fusing temperature (°C) on the heater roller surface. This temperature is used for printing on film, vellum and polyester. The adjustment range is 100°C to 200°C in 1°C-steps. The following default temperatures are recommended by the manufacturer: o ROWE RS / RCS 4000 = 155°C o ROWE RS / RCS 6000 = 160°C o ROWE RS / RCS 8000 = 165°C o ROWE RS / RCS 9000 = 170°C Value toner concentr > By means of this parameter, you can define the target value of the toner concentration in the developer unit. Increasing this parameter leads to increasing the toner concentration.

187

The adjustment range is located between 75 and 125 points. The following default value is recommended by the manufacturer: 100 Max toner amount > By means of this parameter, you can define the maximum toner volume which may be interspersed into the developer in one toner replenishment process (this process is repeated every 20 seconds, if necessary). The parameter indicates the maximum running time of the toner hopper motor in seconds. With the toner hopper unit of the ROWE RS 4000 + 6000, one second corresponds to approximately 1 gram. As regards the ROWE RS 8000 + 9000 printers, one second corresponds to approx. 2 grams. By means of this parameter, you can limit the toner replenishment quantity, which is influenced by the parameter „rel. toner amount”. The adjustment range is 1 to 16. The following default value is recommended by the manufacturer: 3. Rel. toner amount > By means of this parameter, you can influence the toner replenishment performance of the ROWE system. This means that if this value is increased, the system already reacts very strongly to even a minor weakening of the developer mixture (actual value less than target value), namely by an increased running time (high toner volume) of the toner hopper unit. If the value is decreased, the system reacts with only low toner volume to a minor weakening of the toner mixture (actual value less than target value). The adjustment range is 1 to 8. The following default value is recommended by the manufacturer: 2 > This parameter must be increased on devices on which a lot of printouts with high data density (e.g. posters) are printed. Recommended setting: 3-4. > On devices, on which solely line drawings are printed, the parameter should not exceed the value of 2. Note: The maximum toner volume which can be interspersed by increasing the parameter „Rel. toner amount“, is limited by the parameter „Max. toner amount“. Cor Thermistor 1 > This parameter serves for adjusting the temperature sensor to the real temperature of the heater roller. You define an offset value that is offset against the actual value displayed under „Fix set value paper“. This parameter influences the measured temperature of the middle temperature sensor of the heater roller. The default value 100 corresponds to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor. The resolution of the changing levels is approx. 1°C relating to the initial value of the temperature sensor. This means that if the parameter is increased, the displayed actual value gets higher; if the parameter is decreased, the actual value gets lower. The adjustment range is 80 to 120. The following default value is recommended by the manufacturer: 105. Note: In order to adjust this parameter, please proceed as follows: 1. Have the printer warm up to the target temperature of paper (the device is ready for operation). 2. Open the rear cover and measure the surface temperature in the middle section of the heater roller by means of a temperature measuring device. 3. Compare the measured temperature with the actual value displayed under „Fix set value paper” (left actual value). 4. If the measuring result differs from the actual value, you must adjust the parameter „Cor Thermistor 1“ as follows: o In case the displayed actual value is higher than the factually measured temperature, you have to decrease the parameter value. o In case the actual value displayed is lower than the factually measured temperature, you have to increase the parameter value. 5. Check the settings by anew measuring and comparing. Repeat this process until the

188

Chapter 5: Device parameters of the ROWE RC/RCS/RS Systems actual value differs by maximum +/- 2° C. Cor Thermistor 2 > This parameter serves for adjusting the temperature sensor to the real temperature of the heater roller. You define an offset value that is offset against the actual value displayed under „Fix set value paper“. This parameter influences the measured temperature of the outer temperature sensor of the heater roller. The default value 100 corresponds to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor. The resolution of the changing levels is approx. 1°C relating to the initial value of the temperature sensor. This means that if the parameter is increased, the displayed actual value gets higher; if the parameter is decreased, the actual value gets lower. The adjustment range is 80 to 120. The following default value is recommended by the manufacturer: 105. Note: In order to adjust this parameter, please proceed as follows: 1. Have the printer warm up to the target temperature of paper (the device is ready for operation). 2. Open the rear cover and measure the surface temperature in the outer section of the heater roller by means of a temperature measuring device. 3. Compare the measured temperature with the actual value displayed under „Fix set value paper (right actual value). 4. If the measuring result differs from the actual value, you must adjust the parameter „Cor Thermistor1“ as follows: o In case the displayed actual value is higher than the factually measured temperature, you have to decrease the parameter value. o In case the actual value displayed is lower than the factually measured temperature, you have to increase the parameter value. 5. Check the settings by anew measuring and comparing. Repeat this process until the actual value differs by maximum +/- 2° C. Cor infeed roller 1 > By means of this parameter you can define the speed at which the medium is transported to the OPC-drum. The speed, which is defined by the parameter “Cor infeed roller 1“, influences the scale over the first 250 mm of the printout. The default value 100 corresponds to the model-dependent nominal speed. The resolution of the changing levels is located at approx. 0.1% relating to the nominal speed of the ROWE device. This means that if the parameter is increased, the scale gets smaller, if the parameter is decreased, the scale gets larger. The adjustment range is 80 to150 . The following default values are recommended by the manufacturer: o ROWE RS / RCS 4000 = 106 o ROWE RS / RCS 6000 = 116 o ROWE RS / RCS 8000 = 118 o ROWE RS / RCS 9000 = 100 Attention: This parameter is also very strongly influenced by the setting of the parameter “Cor fusing roller“. Cor infeed roller 2 > Mit diesem Parameter definieren Sie die Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher das Medium der OPC-Trommel zugeführt wird. Die Geschwindigkeit, die durch den Parameter „Kor Einlaufwalze 2“ definiert wird, beeinflusst den Maßstab nach den ersten 250 mm bis zur Bildung der Schneideschlaufe ca. 250 mm vor Ende des Ausdruckes. Der Standardwert 100 entspricht der modellabhängigen Nenngeschwindigkeit. Die Auflösung der Änderungsstufen liegt bei 0,1% bezogen auf die Nenngeschwindigkeit des ROWE Gerätes. D.h., erhöht man den Parameter, wird der Maßstab kleiner, senkt man den Parameter wird der Maßstab größer. Der Einstellbereich liegt zwischen 80 und 150 . Folgender Standardwert

wird werkseitig empfohlen: o ROWE RS / RCS 4000 = 96 o ROWE RS / RCS 6000 = 96 o ROWE RS / RCS 8000 = 94 o ROWE RS / RCS 9000 = 94 Attention: This parameter is also very strongly influenced by the setting of the parameter „Cor fusing roller“. Cor infeed roller 3 > By means of this parameter, you can define the speed at which the medium is transported to the OPC-drum. The speed, which is defined by the parameter „Cor infeed roller 3“, influences the scale from the formation of the cutting loop up to approx. 250 mm before the end of the printout. The default value 100 corresponds to the model-dependent nominal speed. The resolution of the changing levels is approx. 0.1% relating to the nominal speed of the ROWE device. This means that if the parameter is increased, the scale gets smaller; if the parameter is decreased, the scale gets larger. The adjustment range is located between 80 and 150. The following default values are recommended by the manufacturer: o ROWE RS / RCS 4000 = 96 o ROWE RS / RCS 6000 = 96 o ROWE RS / RCS 8000 = 94 o ROWE RS / RCS 9000 = 94 Attention: This parameter is also very strongly influenced by the setting of the parameter „Cor fusing roller“. C or Fixierwalze > By means of this parameter, you can define the speed at which the medium is transported from the OPC-drum to the fusing unit. The speed that is defined by the parameter „Cor fusing roller“ influences the scale after the first 250 mm up to the end of the printout. The default value 100 corresponds to the model-dependent nominal speed. The resolution of the changing levels is approx. 0.1% relating to the nominal speed of the ROWE device. This means that if the parameter is increased, the scale gets smaller; if the parameter is decreased, the scale gets larger. The adjustment range is located between 80 and 150. The following default values are recommended by the manufacturer: o ROWE RS / RCS 4000 = 97 o ROWE RS / RCS 6000 = 97 o ROWE RS / RCS 8000 = 96 o ROWE RS / RCS 9000 = 94 Attention: This parameter has very strong influence on the parameters „Cor infeed roller“: In case the fuser roller speed is too high compared to that of the in-feed roller, the medium would be drawn by the higher mechanical grip of the fusing roller. Cor plot beginning > By means of this parameter, you can define the front margin of the printout: If the value is increased, the data-free margin gets larger; if the value is decreased, the margin gets shorter.

Preventive maintenance system

Chapter 6: ROWE RS/RCS/RC System maintenance

Preventive maintenance system The preventive maintenance system of ROWE devices ensures that all critical components and wearing parts are preventively replaced on the occasion of a service appointment. Thereby a standstill of the system can be almost excluded. The ROWE system indicates the due service date by showing the message “Service Date“ in the operator panel display. This message is displayed every 12 hours and must be acknowledged by the user via the enter-key. In addition, the message “Service Date“ is permanently shown in the ROWE PRINT MANAGER device status. Moreover the device can e-mail the message to user-defined recipients. When the ROWE device informs about the due maintenance by means of the “Service Date“ message, the operation needs not be interrupted, but the customer can arrange an individual appointment with the authorised ROWE service team within the next days. Note: If the operator does not place a service request within the 500 running metres succeeding the first display of the “Service Date“ warning message, the operator will be liable for any consequential damages resulting from this. After maintenance performance, the authorised ROWE service engineer writes a service report in which the current status of the ROWE system is recorded. The service works performed are documented in the board card of the ROWE device.

Maintenance System Interval The maintenance interval recommended by the manufacturer is 10.000 running metres. Depending on the working load, this interval can be adapted to the customer’s specific conditions via the device parameter “service date” after consultation with the ROWE support team. The following proceeding must be observed for the individual device modules on the occasion of a service appointment: ROWE PRINTER Regular works after every 10.000 running metres: 1.

Manual In-feed The manual in-feed of the ROWE network printers is arranged above the roll drawers and is activated via a sensor when the medium is input prior to a manual print job. After the medium has been fed into the feed slot, a delay time of 2 seconds runs down, during which the user can orientate the inserted sheet at the feed roller. The manual in-feed components are arranged as follows: 1. 2. 3.

Feed plate Feed roller Sensor

Loop Area Prior to every cutting process in the printing operation, the ROWE network printer builds up a print media reserve (cutting loop) between the loop roller and the in-feed roller in the so-called loop area. The cutting loop serves as print medium supply (e.g. paper), so that the drives in the cutter area can be stopped during the running printing process and the cutter can cut the stationary print medium (e.g. paper), while the print process behind the loop roller is continued without pause by means of the print medium supply gathered in the loop area. After the cut has been effected, all drives are restarted and the end of the medium is fed into the print process. The cutting loop size can be adjusted via a parameter. Basically the cutting loop in a device with high print speed must be larger than in a device with low print speed. The cutting loop size can be visually controlled via the control aperture when the left side cover is opened. As a matter of principle, some small medium supply (loop) must still be available after the cutting process. The second task of the loop area is to provide the process unit with a sufficient amount of print medium at any time, in order to ensure that the print medium passes under the OPC-drum at ever exactly the same speed. In the loop area, the loop switch safeguards this function. If the loop switch is pressed down by the print medium, the feed speed of the print medium from the roll drawers to the loop area is increased and thus a loop is created. If the loop switch is not pressed down by the print medium anymore, the feed speed of the print medium from the roll drawers into the loop area is decreased and the print media is transported to the process unit at a defined speed.

Process Unit Developer Unit In the developer unit, the toner is mixed with the developer, measured by the toner sensor and transported to the OPC-drum via a magnet roller. The developer unit is composed of the following components:

1. Lever for magnet position adjustment (developer coat) Note: The magnet position determines the size of the developer coat at the magnet roller facing the OPC-drum. An incorrectly set magnet position may lead to developer leaking on the one hand, and to lack of blackening on the other hand. The default position set on delivery is marked by a drill-hole. 2. Spacer washer ensuring a defined distance between the OPC-drum and the developer unit. 3. Closed ball bearings of the rear mixing screw shaft. 4.

Rear mixing screw Front mixing screw Toner sensor Drive motor (in the left side case)

Developer Powder The developer powder is a mixture of magnetic metal particles (carrier) and toner. The carrier has the task to transport the toner particles via the magnet roller up to the OPC-drum. The toner percentage in a new (i.e. unused) ROWE developer amounts to 4.8%, and the filling capacity of a developer unit of the network printer series ROWE 4000-9000 amounts to 3.65 kg. During operation the developer powder must be evenly dispersed between the mixing screws.

When replacing the developer powder, the complete developer unit must be dismantled from the ROWE network printer, and the toner hopper must be removed from the unit. By turning the developer unit, the developer powder must be poured out on a foil that was laid out beforehand. At this it must be ensured that also the powder that adheres to the magnet roller is removed, which can be done by manually turning the drive gear wheels. Afterwards the developer unit must be thoroughly cleaned by means of a vacuum cleaner, as well as the condition of the toner sensor protection film be checked. Note: Only in new (unused) ROWE developer powder, the toner concentration corresponds exactly to the requirement of 4.8%. For this reason the toner sensor adjustment can only be executed with a new ROWE developer powder charge.

234

Chapter 7: Mounting and adjustment instructions

Doctor Blade The doctor blade limits the amount of developer powder that adheres to the magnet roller. The gap between the magnet roller and doctor blade is 1mm and cannot be adjusted. At developer units of the second generation (as of January 2008), the doctor blade gap can be adjusted. On delivery, the space between doctor blade and developer roller is preset on 1.0 mm on the left and right side, and on 0.8 mm in the centre with empty developer unit. With a filled developer unit, such an even gap is set automatically due to bending. After adjustment of the doctor blade at the factory, the set position is sealed. An adjustment on the customer’s site is not intended.

Magnet The magnet bearer is located inside the developer unit in the magnet roller and consists of 4 single magnets (M). The magnet bearer position determines the orientation of the developer powder on the magnet roller in the OPC-drum zone. The position is preset at the factory by means of the adjustment lever (see overview).

Note: The magnet position determines the size of the developer coat at the magnet roller facing the OPC-drum. An incorrectly set magnet position may lead to developer leaking on the one hand, and to lack of blackening on the other hand. The default position set on delivery is marked by a drill-hole.

235

Mechanics

Mixing Screws The rear mixing screw roller [1] transports the developer powder from the left to the right in parallel to the magnet roller [2]. The rear mixing screw roller transports fresh developer powder to the magnet roller and removes used developer powder to the right. The front mixing screw roller [3] receives the used developer powder on the right side and transports it leftwards to the toner sensor [4] . There the developer powder is measured. If necessary, the toner hopper drive then is activated which disperses toner onto the front mixing screw in the right area [5]. The front mixing screw [3] mixes the toner with the developer powder and transports the mixture to the left, where the fresh developer powder is transported from the rear mixing screw roller [1] to the magnet roller [2] again. The mixing screw rollers and the magnet roller are driven by a DC motor located in the right side case.

Attention: The turning direction of the drive motor must always be selected in a way that makes sure that the developer powder is transported to the left by the front mixing screw roller [3] and to the right by the rear mixing screw roller [1].

Mixing Screw Bearing Whenever the developer powder is replaced, the mixing screw bearing must be checked with respect to free movement. As a basic principle, the mixing screw bearing must be renewed on the occasion of every second developer replacement. To replace the bearings, please proceed as follows:

1. 2. 3. 4.

On the right side of the developer unit, demount the retaining rings, spur wheels and spacer bushings of the mixing rollers. On the left side of the developer unit, demount the retaining rings and the mixing rollers. Remove the bearings and clean the bearing positions. Renew the bearings and the sealing

Note: Do solely use original ROWE bearings in connection with the appropriate sealing listed in the ROWE spare part catalogue, in order to prevent any intrusion of developer powder into the bearings and any damage to the bearings resulting from this.

Chapter 7: Mounting and adjustment instructions

Toner Hopper Unit The toner filled in by the user by means of a toner cartridge, is stored in the toner hopper unit. If toner is required, the drive motor of the toner hopper unit is activated by the device control, and the toner is thus transported into the developer unit via a foam roller. The foam roller disperses the toner directly onto the front mixing screw roller, which mixes the toner with the developer powder.

The task of the mixing paddle is to prevent the toner from sticking together or forming lumps. Fastening clamp with nut which fixes the toner hopper unit to the developer unit (3x). Fastening slide for fixing the toner cartridge. Note: Make sure that the foam roller and the mixing paddle of the toner hopper unit turn clockwise when viewed from the right. Furthermore, no toner must be allowed to run from the toner hopper unit into the developer unit when the foam roller is stationary.

OPC-Fotoleitertrommel The OPC photoconductor drum is named after the functional principle of the Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) and is one of the basic components of the network printer. By means of the LED print head, an image is created on the semi-conducting drum surface (which is negatively charged by the HV power source) by discharging the points written by the LED print head by means of photoconduction (i.e. light sensitivity), thus making them more positive than the unwritten points on the OPC-drum. After a half-turn of the OPC-drum towards the developer unit, the toner particles of the developer remain attached to the positively charged points (written points) due to electrostatic attraction. In the subsequent process, the toner particles are then transferred to the paper by means of further high voltage.

Mechanics

Corona The different corona wires are arranged around the OPC-drum and have several functions in the print process. The corona has the following tasks: 1. Charge Corona The charge corona is operated with a voltage of approx. -9KV. The task of the charge corona is to charge the OPC-drum with a negative voltage of -720V. In order to limit the charge voltage of the OPC-drum to -720 V, there is a grid between the charge corona and the OPC-drum which is connected to ground via Zener-diodes. This ensures that the charge voltage cannot exceed a maximum value of 740V. The exact voltage adjustment is effected via the HV power supply unit. 2. Transfer Corona The transfer corona is operated with a voltage of approx. 5 KV DC. The task of the transfer corona is to charge the print medium (e.g. pager) positively towards the OPC-drum, so that the print medium is attracted by the OPC-drum due to electrostatic attraction. In the same step the toner particles are furthermore transmitted from the OPC-drum onto the print medium, due to electrostatic attraction. The exact voltage adjustment is effected via the HV power supply unit. 3. Separation Corona The separation corona is operated with a voltage of approx. 2.7 KV AC. The task of the separation corona is to reverse the potentials due to which the print medium is attached to the OPDdrum, and thus to separate the print medium from the OPC-drum. The exact voltage adjustment is effected via the HV power supply unit. Installation / De-installation of the Charge Corona Before starting the works, shut the ROWE system down and switch the device off. Disconnect the earthing type plug from the mains power supply. Make sure that the device is free of voltage. Open the printer cover.

Fusing Exit Sensor (Impulse Wheel) By means of the exit sensor (impulse wheel), the ROWE network printer detects a jam in the fusing area. During normal operation, the impulse wheel must turn when paper is output. If no paper is running, the impulse wheel must not turn. During the print output, the printer calculates the point in time at which the paper must run out of the fusing unit and thus the point in time as of which the impulse wheel must be turning. If the impulse wheel does not turn, a jam is detected and all drives are stopped immediately. Note: A malfunction (maladjustment or defect) of the exit sensor (impulse wheel) can be seen from the following defect characteristics: the network printer starts a job, during the

Mechanics

Reflector Rollers The ROWE network scanner has two reflector rollers which are located directly under the CIS sensors. The varnish of the rollers reflects the CIS sensor light and thus is jointly responsible for the scan quality. In addition, the reflector rollers take the passing original that is to be scanned into a defined position towards the CIS head (focus zone). For this reason the reflector rollers must hold an exact distance (gap between the reflector roller and the glass plate) of 0.2 mm towards the glass plate of the CIS head. This space is ensured by spacer washers that are mounted on the left and on the right of each reflector roller. The diameter of the spacer washers must be by 0.4 mm larger than the diameter of the reflector roller. Note: The spacer washer diameter may vary from the right to the left. A gap which is too large leads to blur in the scan result. A gap that is too small leads to transport problems and increased wearing of the reflector roller varnish, as well as to damaging the glass plate. Reflector Roller Replacement Flap the scanner completely upwards.

Toner Sensor The toner sensor is located at the developer unit of the ROWE network printer and measures the developer mixture consisting of toner and carrier (metallic carrier material). The toner sensor reacts to the metallic carrier. The higher the portion of carrier in the developer mixture, the higher the output voltage. A new developer mixture contains 4% toner in the carrier when it leaves the factory. With this mixture, the toner sensor must provide an output voltage of 2.5 V. These 2.5V correspond to the value “100“ shown in the display of the network printer. Note: As a basic principle, the following applies: High output voltage of the toner sensor (> 2.5V) = Low toner concentration in the developer ( < 4%) = Low value in the machine display (< 100) Low output voltage of the toner sensor (< 2.5V) = High toner concentration in the developer ( > 4%) = High value in the machine display (> 100) On principle the toner sensor is adjusted to a new ROWE developer mixture (when the developer mixture is replaced). After the automatic adjustment the output voltage of the toner sensor must amount to 2.5V. During the automatic adjustment process, the ROWE device control software can adjust a possibly incorrect output voltage in the range of 1.5V-3.5V to 2.5V output voltage, which is performed on its own by means of offset voltages. However, if the output voltage ranges above 3.5V respectively below 1.5V, the toner sensor must be manually adjusted to the range between 1.5V-3.5V by means of a non-metallic screw driver. The adjustment is effected via an adjusting screw located in the toner sensor, which enables you to adjust the internal ferrite core of the toner sensor.

310

Chapter 8: Mounting and adjustment instructions

In order to adjust the toner sensor, please proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Check the reference dimension of 4.9mm from the top edge of the sensor housing to the ferrite core adjusting screw. Connect the service plug. Start step 1 of the automatic toner adjustment in the service menu When the mixing process is running, please adjust the toner sensor by means of a nonmetallic screw driver until it is set in the range 1.5V-3V. Then start the automatic toner sensor adjustment. Note: For further information, please refer to section „Developer Configuration” in chapter “Start-Up”. Connection Assignment: Blue wire : Ground [GND] Yellow wire: Digital output [not used in the ROWE network printer] White wire: Analogue output [ 0V – 4V] Red wire: Supply voltage +24V DC Grey wire: Offset input [0-10V]; typical value: with an actual toner sensor output voltage of 2.5V, the offset voltage amounts to 4V.

Overheating Protection Switch The overheating protection switches of the fusing unit protect the heater roller and the fuser roller against damages caused by overheating in case of a fault. There is one overheating switch in the outer zone of the heater roller, and another one in the middle zone of the heater roller. The overheating protection switches rest against the heater roller, separated by a Teflon foil. The overheating protection switches can be accessed via the mid-lid and are located under the heat protection cover of the fuser roller. The 230 V AC voltage supply of the respective radiant heater is switched off via the overheating protection switches. The switch-off temperature is 200°C. After cooling down, the overheating protection switch can be reset manually by pushing the mid pin of the overheating protection switch.

Note: After release of the overheating protection switch, the switch must be reset manually. Attention: When the safety circuit, respectively the service plug is connected, the overheating protection switches are energised by a mains voltage of 230V! DANGER TO LIFE! Attention: The components are located in a hot area! RISK OF BURNS! Temperature Sensors (Thermistors) The temperature sensors of the fusing unit regulate the heater roller temperature. There is one temperature in the outer zone of the heater roller and another one in the mid-zone of the heater roller to regulate the respective radiant heater. The temperature sensors are pressed against the heater roller by means of a leaf spring. The temperature sensors can be accessed via the mid-lid and are located under the heat protection cover of the fuser roller.

The surface temperature conveyed by the temperature sensors may differ from the actual heater roller temperature due to troubles (e.g. unclean sensors or incorrect sensing point). In order to balance this difference, an offset value for the respective sensor can be set via the machine parameter menu. The relevant parameters are called Cor. Thermistor 1 and Cor. Thermistor 2. Note: For further information, please refer to chapter “Machine Parameters”. For maintenance, the complete sensor strip can be removed by loosening the three retaining nuts and connector X 23.

Attention: The components are located in a hot area! RISK OF BURNS!

Chapter 8: Mounting and adjustment instructions Power Relays The power relays K2 and K3 serve for switching the radiant heaters on and off. The power relays are controlled by the output board with a voltage of 24V DC, whereupon the power relays close the 230V AC circuit of the radiant heaters and thereby switch the radiant heaters on. There is one power relay responsible for the outer radiant heater [1350W / K3 ] and another one for the mid radiant heater [1750W / K2 ]. The power relays are located in the rear part of the right side case and can be accessed by opening the right upper cover.

Attention: When the safety circuit respectively the service plug is connected, the overheating protection switches are energised by a mains voltage of 230V! DANGER TO LIFE! Connection assignment: Orange wire : Supply voltage +24V DC Yellow wire: Ground [GND] (connected) Black wire: Supply line 230V AC radiant heater Black wire: Supply voltage 230V AC Radiant Heaters The radiant heaters E3 [1750W] and E4 [1350W] heat the heater roller in the mid and in the outer zone. The radiant heater E3 [1750W] heats the mid-zone of the heater roller, the radiant heater E4 [1350W] heats the left and right outer zone of the heater roller.

It is of utmost importance that the radiant heaters are connected to the proper power relay, i.e. E3 [1750W] to K2 and E4 [1350W] to K3. The wattage of the radiant heaters is printed on the ceramic ends of the radiant heaters, and in addition the supply line and the clamps are colourmarked. farblich markiert.

Attention: When the safety circuit respectively the service plug is connected, the overheating protection switches are energised by a mains voltage of 230V! DANGER TO LIFE! Attention: The components are located in a hot area! RISK OF BURNS! Safety Circuit / Door Switches / Contactor K1 / Service Plug The safety circuit consists of door switches connected in series, which ensure that all drives stop and that all dangerous voltages are switched off when a door or a cover is opened. This function is effected by switching contactor K1 off. Due to this function, there is no risk for the user or for the machine when a cover is opened during operation.

The door switches are magnet switches consisting of two parts. First, the actual switch, which is mounted at the device frame and second, the magnet which is mounted at the door or at the cover. So if the magnet gets very close (1 mm) to the switch by closing the door, the door is recognised as closed. The safety circuit (magnet switch) is operated with 24V DC. The magnet switches are mounted at all openings which can be opened without the aid of tools. 1. 2. 3. 4.
