General information - DataCourier

Work Environment

In general, please take care to operate your DataCourier on a stable and skid-fast surface. Especially avoid work surroundings which are dusty or humid! When opening your DataCourier, please make sure that the case stands with the case handle upwards!

Avoid operating your DataCourier near extreme heat sources (i.e. any heating elements). Protect your DataCourier from direct sunlight!
→ For exact information regarding the temperature of the work surroundings, please study the manual of your Notebook or printer manufacturer.
The devices should only be operated while the case is open.
After some time of operation, the case may not be closed immediately to ensure a cooling-off period!

Operational current / charging procedure

→ When connecting to a power socket, please ensure that the power cable is first connected to the case and then to the power socket!
→ The charging procedure should generally be done while the case is open!

Installation of mobile printer

Open your DataCourier and proceed as follows:

1) Take four Velcro pads and press two corresponding pairs together. (Fig. 1 showing a pair being pressed together)
2) Now you have two Velcro pairs with protective films on each side. Remove the protective film on one side of each pair to reveal the adhesive tape beneath and press them to one corner each of your printer. (Fig. 2; the white tape must still be removed, the Velcro pads can also be placed in the center of the printer)

CAUTION!

Before you mount the printer, please check the intended position on the flap since incorrect mounting can cause problems during printer operation.
3) The easiest way to mount the printer is on the open front flap. Mount the printer with its back side (battery side) on the closed cable box in the center and press against the lid. The further back you mount the printer the better for balance, since then the DataCourier does not tip over so easily.

Installation of power supply

1) Take the remaining four Velcro pads and press two corresponding pairs together. Now you have two Velcro pad pairs with a protective film on each side (also see Page 3, Fig. 1).
2) Remove the film on one side of each pad pair and press this side to the bottom of the synthetic box. Press the divider pads to the back side of the DataCourier. Now you can attach the synthetic box to the left inner side of the DataCourier by removing the remaining protective films.

CAUTION!

You must first insert the power plug through the round opening (!) to the side pocket (This can be done on the left or right side). In case a Velcro pad is already attached to the inner left side, you need only remove the protective film of the corresponding side and attach it to the bottom side of the synthetic box (Fig. 5).

Storage of power supply units

How to store the power supply units:

The power supply units are stored on the inside of the synthetic box.

1) Open the retractable lid. Place the power supply units that belong to your printer and Notebook into the storage space (Fig. 6 (1)).
2) Connect the power supply units for Notebook and printer with the Euro 8 power socket (220 V) provided. The power cables for Notebook and printer can be led through the slots on the left- and right-hand side of the lid (Fig. 5 (1)). Then replace the lid - done! (Fig. 6)

Connection Notebook - printer

There are two options for connecting the Notebook to your printer:

1) Connect printer and Notebook with a USB cable. This cable is not included in the DataCourier!
Ensure correct cabling here as well! It is best to lead the USB cable around the printer.
Also make sure that the USB cable is not obstructing the paper bin, thus causing paper jams!
2) Data transfer between printer and Notebook via Bluetooth: (only possible if Notebook and printer are Bluetooth-compatible!)

Bluetooth is an up-to-date radio standard enabling wireless data transfer. On behalf of the Notebook, the connection is established via an internal interface or a PC-card module. On behalf of the printer, the connection can be established via a Compact Flash module.

CAUTION!

Always place your Notebook in the middle compartment between the divider pads, front side down, to prevent damaging Notebooks cables and plugs.

Charging the system:

CAUTION!

Before connecting the multi-plug cable to a power socket, read the manual of your Notebook and/or printer carefully. Never close the DataCourier lid while the printer or Notebook is being operated or the Notebook is being charged. Closing the lid can cause overheating. The DataCourier should always be placed on an even surface to prevent it from tipping over while open.
