Thanks for choosing the Compuprint 9060 printer.
Your printer is a reliable working equipment that will be very useful in your daily job.
Our printers have been designed to be compact and respectful of the work environment. They offer
a wide range of features and multiple functions that confirm the high technological level reached
by the printers with Compuprint brand.
To maintain these printing performances unchanged in the long run, Sferal wwt has
developed specific Compuprint branded consumables for each printer type (for example: ribbon
cartridges for dot matrix printers, toner and OPC cartridges for laser printers, bubble ink jet
cartridges for inkjet printers) that assure an excellent operation with high printing quality level
reliability.
Sferal wwt recommends to use only its original Compuprint branded consumables with
original packaging (identified by its holographic label). In this way, a proper use of the printer at
quality level stated in the product characteristics can be assured. All typical usage problems
related to not certified consumables may be avoided, such as an overall quality print level
degradation and, often, the reduction of the product life due to the fact that the proper working
conditions for the print heads, OPC cartridge and other printer parts are not assured.
Moreover, Sferal does not only certify its consumables in terms of working conditions but also
carefully controls their compliance with the international standard rules concerning:
• no cancerous materials;
• no flammability of the plastic materials;
• other standards
Sferal advises the customers not to use products for which the compliance to this safety rules are
not warranted. Finally seek your dealer or contact a Sferal office and be sure that are provided you
the original Compuprint branded consumables.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

Consider the following points when you
choose the location for your printer:
• The distance between the printer and
the host computer must not exceed the
length of the interface cable;
• The location must be sturdy,
horizontal and stable;
• Your printer must not be exposed to
direct sunlight, extreme heat, cold,
dust or humidity (see "Printer
Specifications" later);
• The power outlet must be compatible
with the plug of the printer's power
cord.
There must be sufficient clearances on
all sides for easy operation. The
required space is shown in the figure:
80 cm
31.5 in.

This printer can be connected to your host computer via two available interfaces. The interface
connectors are located on the rear of the printer.
• A bidirectional IEEE1284 parallel interface
• A RS-232C/422A serial interface
Before connecting the interface cable, make sure that the printer and the host computer are
turned OFF .
Insert the parallel interface cable into the parallel connector and fasten it by means of the clips.
Insert the serial interface cable into the serial connector and fasten it by means of the two screws (use
the screwdriver).
