• A main power switch turns on the machine.
• A 1 - to 8-digit code authorizes machine utilization ; you the user can change this code if you wish.
• A totaling counter records the number of signatures or texts made by the machine, without the possibility of resetting the counter.
• A sheet feed plate located under the printhead allows you to load up to 800 sheets of 80 gram paper which may then be automatically fed.
• You position your documents on the writing table by means of keys located on a control panel, which allow moving the printhead sideways and positioning the paper in height. Once you have properly positioned your document, the first signature memorizes this location for the following documents, until you decide to change to a new position.
• Speed varies according to the length of your text or signature, since the tracing operation takes place at approximately the speed of a hand movement. We estimate the average speed of a conventional signature at 800 documents / hour. This speed is preset in the package, but can be changed if you wish.
• The trace made by the machine is recorded earlier by us in a package which contains the memory read by the machine. The machine operate only if this package is connected. If you want to change a text or a signature, disconnect this package and install another of your choice. All the traces may be made in any direction or orientation (straight, upside down, tilted, etc.) as long as their surface area does not extend beyond the frame defined on the signature authorization form.

Paper pick-up by the feed rollers limits the possibility of writing to 2 cm from the paper sheet's edge. If you have to sign a sheet on the left-hand edge, simply make the signature upside down and run the documents through in the opposite direction. The documents may be stopped to within an accuracy of ± 1 mm depending on the paper's quality.

A graduated thumbwheel on the machine's side is used to separate the documents so that they may be presented on the writing table one by one.
This adjustment allows the machine to work with a wide variety of paper grammages, such as greeting's cards, photos, diplomas, invitation cards, business cards, and so on. And the thicker the document, the less sensitive the adjustment.

The documents signed by this machine are just like originals since the writing is done with an ordinary pen (fountain pen, ball point pen, or ink pen). Therefore, to assure your protection, two important security devices are provided : a coder and a disconnectable memory package, which may be stored in a secure location. The machine, on the other hand, does not have any internal memory.

Some other operating securities also exist on the machine, such as:

• Double sheet detection.
• Machine shutdown in a "paper jam" condition.
• Machine shutdown in an "end of paper" condition.
