A.   Items in the Box
  • 1 ViewPlus InkConnect for Tiger Elite and Premier embossers (embosser not included)
  • 1 installation CD with user's manual in html
  • 2 ink cartridges 
  • 1 serial cable
 
B.   Unpacking
  • Remove the InkConnect and all its accessories from its packaging.
  • Inspect the unit and its packaging for any damage.
  • Save the packing material and box.  If any damage occurred during shipping, most shipping companies require the box and the packing material in order to settle the insurance claim. The packing material must also be used to ship the InkConnect for warranty maintenance service.
  • Follow the ViewPlus InkConnect Setup Instructions included with your other materials.

 
C.   Hardware Attachment
Before attaching the InkConnect, make sure that your Elite or Premier embosser is turned off.
 
To attach the InkConnect to the embosser, line up the hooks on the InkConnect with the pegs in the back of the embosser. Insert the InkConnect hooks straight into the embosser and lower the InkConnect onto the embosser pegs.

Hold a cartridge with the nozzles pointing down (the label will be up). The flat plastic tab should be toward you so that the writing on the label is upside down. Insert the cartridge into one of the ink cartridge holders by placing the nozzle end in first and then pressing the side with the tab forward into the InkConnect until the cartridge snaps into the holder.

Install the second cartridge the same way, then close the lid.
 
The next time a print job is sent to the printer, a dialog will appear for each cartridge stating that a cartridge change was detected. Choose the 'Yes' button on each cartridge's dialog to confirm that a new cartridge was installed. This will ensure that the ink fill status of the cartridge is set at 100% when the cartridge is full.

If an ink cartridge change dialog does not appear for one or both cartridges, or if you would like to reset the ink fill status immediately without printing, the ink fill status can be set manually instead. To do this, refer to the instructions for checking the ink fill status in Chapter III, Section C of this manual.
