ViewPlus Emprint SpotDot Manual

• Remove the embossing printer and all its accessories from its packaging.

• Inspect the ViewPlus embossing printer 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 ViewPlus embosser for warranty maintenance service.
  

• Follow the ViewPlus Emprint SpotDot Setup Instructions included with your other materials.
  

 

• An HP duplexer (rear paper path extension) is mounted in the back of the ViewPlus Emprint SpotDot. It is mounted with snap locks which can be released by pressing the two buttons on either side of the extension. Make sure the duplexer is firmly attached before operating the embossing printer.

• The lid on top of the embossing printer lifts up and can easily be taken off without any hooks or snaps. During operation of the ViewPlus Emprint SpotDot make sure the lid is in place and is closed.
  

The paper output tray has been removed prior to shipment in order to prevent damage.  The tray has a pull out extension which is lighter grey colored. The extension slides out and then the upper portion folds out to extend the tray to its full length.  There are metal brackets with pins on either side of the front opening of the case above the paper input tray.  Line up the slots on the side of the tray over the pins and slide the tray in until it drops into place.  For convenience the output tray can be removed to load new media on the input tray.  An optional stack paper tray is available for larger stacks of paper.   This can be purchased separately.

• The ViewPlus Emprint SpotDot has a power module with a power socket, on/off switch, and a compartment holding two fuses on the back side. A sticker next to the power module indicates what specific fuses are required for the embossing printer. If the embossing printer will not power on, it might be necessary to replace the fuses.

• Insert the power cable plug into the Emprint SpotDot power connector and the other end of the power cable into a grounded outlet, or ViewPlus recommends connecting to a surge protector.
• Turn the embosser on by pressing the power switch to the On or "I" position. The part of the switch towards the center of the embossing printer should be pressed down.

• Attach data cable.
• A USB printer cable was included in your box.
• Attach the flat end of the USB data cable to the USB port of the host computer, and then attach the other end to the embossing printer. The USB connection is located on the back side of the embossing printer.
