Star Micronics SP500 Installation Instruction

Confirm that all accessories are included.

Precautions when mounting

✓ Ensure that power that is supplied to the printer and that all devices connected to the printer have been switched OFF

and that the power cord has been unplugged before starting the modification.

✓ Select a location where the unit will not be exposed to moisture or physical shocks.  Make sure that the wall is wide

enough to mount the brackets.

✓ Carefully select screws for mounting the bracket to the wall.  These screws must be strong enough to hold the printer

and must be long enough to completely enter the wall to provide a secure mounting.  Remember that Star accepts no
responsibility for damage resulting from the printer falling due to improper mounting.

✓ The weight of the printer, including a roll of paper with the largest diameter, is approximately 2.5 kg.
✓ The screws for mounting the bracket must have both a shear and tensile strength capable of withstanding a load of 12

kgf (118 N) or more. It is recommended that anchor nuts be used.

✓ A screw diameter of 4 mm is recommended.
✓ Always use all eight (8) screw holes in the mounting bracket when securing the mounting bracket to the wall.
✓ Mount the bracket to the wall so that its mounting accuracy is within a range of ±2

°

 to the vertical direction.

✓ The wall used for mounting should be 90°±2° in reference to the horizontal direction.

front of the printer when its cover is opened.

2 As shown in the illustration to the right, place the mounting bracket

against the wall where the printer is to be mounted and mark the
positions of the screw holes.

3 Drill holes at the locations marked.
4 Secure the bracket in place using screws with a diameter of 4 mm.

Note : Screws are not included in the package. Prepare the screws
that can be used on the type of wall for mounting.

•  Locate the beams in the wall and

mount using them.

• Do not tighten the screws or anchors

to locations with one wall sheet.
Always make sure that the screws
penetrate the beams. (This is so the
weight of the printer can be supported.)

• Drive the anchor nuts into the wall and

tighten the screws.
