page 28.
7. Connect an encoder/photocell to the back of the print head, as required.
8. Connect the print head(s) to the RJ-45 connector that ia labelled "Printer Network" on
the PCM’s interface panel. A single print head can either be connected directly or via a
dedicated Viacode Ethernet switch.
If more than one print head is installed, they must be connected to a dedicated Viacode
Ethernet switch first, which in turn is connected to the PCM.
9. Connect the print head’s Power-Supply-Pack to the DSUB connection that is labelled
Power on the back of the print head. Connect the Power-Supply-Cable between the
Power-Supply-Pack and a mains outlet supply. Make sure that the correct power is
supplied to the print head.
Note: The Power-Supply-Pack and the Power-Supply-Cable are sold separately to the
PTM.
10. Wait until the READY LED on the back of the print head illuminates green.
Note: The READY LED will illuminate green when the print head has reached the correct
operating temperature, which takes approximately two minutes. It will illuminate orange
while warming up.
