Section 1: Warnings, Cautions and Notes
Thank you for purchasing the FX1200 Digital Finishing System. Please read the following
Warnings, Cautions and Notes before operating your FX1200.
Note: Notes are used to notify of installation, operation, or maintenance information that is
important but not safety related.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard, which if ignored may result in
damage to the unit.
Warning: Warning means that a potential safety hazard exists and indicates procedures that
must be followed exactly to avoid serious personal injury.
Warnings
•Do not operate the FX1200 while wearing loose fitting clothing or neck ties. Serious
injury may result. If clothing or fingers are caught in the rollers, immediately press the
STOP button on the front of the unit.
•Keep your hands away from the FX1200 at all times while the cutter is running. The
electric motors in the FX1200 are extremely powerful and are capable of crushing
fingers at nip points in the paper path. The nip points are located to the left and right of
the cutter mechanism. The nip points are the points where the paper is compressed so
it can be pulled or pushed through printer. If fingers are caught in the nip points, press
the stop button immediately and open the nip points by pushing the levers to the right.
•Keep hands away from the cutter mechanism while the FX1200 is in use. It has a
sensor monitored cover to prevent access during use. Do not attempt to alter or trick the
cutter cover sensor or any other safety sensors on the FX1200. Serious injury may
result.
•When replacing Slitter blades work from the back blade housing to the front. This will
minimize the chance of injury since you will not be working over already installed blades.
Use the magnetic covers whenever possible.
•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not remove exterior panels. No user-serviceable parts are
inside. Refer to qualified service personnel. Operate the unit with only proper electrical
specifications as labeled on the unit and the AC adapter.
Caution
•Do not expose adhesive when splicing new media to existing media at any point in the
system.
•Do not use media that is wider than specified in the specifications section of this manual.
•Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning the touch screen.
5
•Avoid touching the screen with dirty or greasy fingers.
•Do not touch the screen with sharp objects. Use only your fingers or the included stylus
to touch the screen.
•Do not begin cutting labels until the splice point between new and old media has passed
the cutter mechanism.
•Do not store materials in the FX1200 cabinet while it is in use. The dancer arms move
rapidly up and down during operation. Materials stored in the cabinet may cause
damage to the FX1200 dancer arms.
Notes
•The FX1200 cannot run while the cutter cover is open. Close this cover to run the
FX1200.
•Clean the Touch screen with water and micro fiber cloth. Use side to side or up and
down wiping motions.
•When replacing knives always replace all knives in a particular knife set.
