Work enviroment

Please make sure that your DataDesk 450 is always operated on a steady, non-skid surface. Especially avoid working surfaces in dusty or damp environments!

→ When opening your DataDesk 450 attaché case, please make sure that the case shell with the case handle is upside!
If you would like to use your DataDesk 450 without the upper case shell, you can remove it as follows: Open the attaché case at an angle of approx. 60^ - 70^ . At this angle you feel a slight resistance and you can detach the case lid by pulling it horizontally to the right.
Avoid the use of your DataDesk 450 near extreme heat sources (e.g. heaters). Protect your DataDesk 450 from direct sun irradiation!
→ For exact information regarding the temperature of the work environment, please refer to the user's guide of your Notebook or printer manufacturer.
The equipment should only be operated when the case is opened.
→ The case should not be immediately closed after the equipment has been used for a long period of time, so as to ensure a cooling-off period!

Operating voltage / recharging procedure

Please keep in mind that the line cord is to be attached to the case first, and then connected to the power source, when connecting with the power supply system!
→ The DataDesk 450 should always be opened during the recharging procedure of the equipment!

3) Now connect the Euro 8 plug with the 220V socket of the power supply (in pocket No. 6).
4) Route the printer power cable through the designated groove (under the flap lid) and sideways past the printer (Fig. 3).

Pay attention to a clean cable routing to prevent damaging the printer cable (e.g. by pinching it off)!

Installation of your Notebook

1) Place the Notebook power supply in the rear pocket of the bottom part of the case.
2) Now connect the 220V plug with the Notebook's power supply.
3) Route the low voltage power supply outlet cable beneath the flap lid through the designated groove, so that the cable can not be damaged when the lid is closed!
4) The power supply outlet plug is now connected with the Notebook.

Now you have two options of fastening your Notebook:

1) Either you use the four synthetic corners which are provided within the scope of supply and fasten them by using the eight self-adhesive 3M Velcro pads (Fig. 1) or
2) you use the self-adhesive 3M Velcro pads and adhere these in pairs directly onto the case lid and the bottom side of your Notebook.

During transport always fasten your Notebook with the Velcro strap (transport protection) on the upper side of the flap lid (Fig. 3)

Connection: Notebook - printer

Two options of connecting Notebook and printer:

1) Connect your HP DJ 450 and your Notebook by using the USB cable which is provided in the scope of supply.

Ensure a clean cable routing here as well! Either route the USB printer cable around or underneath the printer.
Furthermore, make sure that the USB printer cable does not interfere with the printer paper output, thus preventing paper jams!

2) Data transfer between printer and Notebook via Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a new radio standard for cableless data transfer. The Notebook establishes the data connection via Bluetooth through an internal interface or a PC card module. The printer can be connected with a compact flash module, for example.

CAUTION!

Make sure that no cables are pinched when closing the case!
