IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your Bar Code Printer has been designed to give you many years of safe,
reliable service. As with all electrical equipment, there are a few basic
precautions you should take to avoid getting hurt or damaging the Printer.
•Carefully read the installation and operating instructions provided
with your Printer.
•Read and follow all warning instruction labels on the Printer itself.
•Place the Printer on a flat, firm, solid surface.
•To protect your Printer from overheating, make sure all openings on
the Printer are not blocked.
•Do not place the Printer on or near a heat source, (i.e., a radiator or
heat register).
•Do not use your Printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.
•Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back
of the Printer. If you are unsure, check with your dealer or with your
local power company.
•As a safety device, your Printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug that will
only fit into a grounded outlet. If you cannot plug it in, chances are
you have an older, non-grounded outlet. Contact an electrician to have
the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding.
•Do not place the power cord where it will be walked on. If the power
cord becomes damaged or frayed replace it immediately.
•Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots or openings on the
Printer.
•Only qualified, trained service technicians should attempt to repair
your Printer.

1.0 Introduction
The Bradyprinter™ THT Model 2024 & 2034, hereafter referred to as 'the
Printer', is a high performance, low cost, direct thermal or thermal transfer
label printer that uses Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) technology.
With its standard 203 DPI (Dots Per Inch) printhead, the Printer can print
labels at speeds of up to 10" per second. The thermal transfer model allows for
the use of thermal transfer ribbons.
An innovative dot history control circuit called SEAQ,(Sequential Energy
Adjustment for Quality), provides exceptional print quality by monitoring the
printhead data and automatically adjusting the printhead element temperatures
to provide maximum printhead quality and performance.
_______________________________________________________________________
2Introduction
The Printer can be connected to almost any computer through its
RS-232C/RS422 serial interfaces, IEEE parallel option, or to an IBM
or IBM compatible mainframe through its optional twinax/coax interface.
The Printer can be equipped with operator and field-installed options such as a
Cutter, Peel and Present (requires factory installed Internal Rewind), On-line
Verification, DRAM, Internal Batch Cartridge, and Memory Cartridges. In
addition, the Printer can be purchased with factory installed options, (i.e.,
Internal Rewind, 300 DPI printhead, and LCD\Keypad front panel), that
expand the Printer's capabilities.
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 depict the Printer's parts placement.
